Under R432-270-16 a secure unit is only allowed inside a Type II license, and each resident moving in signs a separate secure-unit agreement covering wander risk and the conditions for discharge. Read those two documents before the deposit.

- 2 findings repeated an earlier citation; ask why the first correction did not stick.
- Ask for the name of the registered nurse who signs assessments and how often that nurse is in the building.
- Ask how the secure unit is staffed overnight; the rule sets a floor of one direct-care worker inside at all times.
- Ask whether New Choices Waiver residents are accepted and what monthly room and board they pay out of pocket.
