Question 1

What do HCBS site visits actually check?

Accepted Answer

HCBS (Home and Community-Based Services) site visits check whether required postings, safety drills, insurance, and person-centered documentation are in place and match what's actually practiced at the facility — not just what's on paper.

Question 2

What are the most common HCBS non-compliance findings?

Accepted Answer

San Andreas Regional Center's provider committee named recurring findings: staff lacking required training, no person-centered plan in place, and documentation that isn't updated to support the plan. Valley Mountain Regional Center's board reported missing or incomplete required policies — house rules, visitor policies, grievance policies — as the most common remediation need across 321 providers assessed.

Question 3

How long does HCBS corrective action usually take?

Accepted Answer

Central Valley Regional Center reported 67 vendors still working through a corrective-action process years after the HCBS rule took effect — showing that closing HCBS gaps often takes longer than providers expect once a finding is issued.

Question 4

How does Kura help with HCBS readiness?

Accepted Answer

Kura's Inspection Readiness view scores every category a site visit checks — drills, insurance, safety checks, required postings — and flags gaps before a surveyor does. Postings are verified with a timestamp and an attributed verifier, so there's a record of who confirmed what.
