How DHSR Unannounced Inspections Flag Personnel Training Deficiencies

DHSR unannounced inspections routinely cite group homes and day treatment facilities under 10A NCAC 27G .0202 for inadequate staff records.

Using informal on-the-job shadowing without written, test-verified competency assessments
Failure to document training on the facility's specific restrictive intervention policy and physical restraint prohibitions
Missing medication administration six-hour coursework and annual clinical check-offs for non-licensed staff passing pills
Personnel files lacking verified certificates showing annual review of G.S. 122C client rights
