When determining if a facility is "fit and qualified", the department shall review survey and complaint investigation findings for each facility the applicant is or was affiliated with during the past how many years?

1. 2

2. 3

3. 5

4. 10

The correct answer is: 5

When determining if a facility is "fit and qualified", the department will review survey and complaint investigation findings for each facility the applicant is or was affiliated with during the past five years. This is because the department wants to ensure that the facility and its operators have a recent track record of providing safe and quality care. Reviewing findings from the past two or three years may not provide enough information, while looking back 10 years or more may be outdated and irrelevant to the current state of the facility. As such, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
