FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
FAILURE TO INFORM RESIDENTS OF TYPES OF INTERVENTION AVAILABLE
The Elisabeth Ludeman Developmental Center, upon commencement of services, did not inform residents and their guardians as to the circumstance that permit use of restraint or emergency forced medication, and they did not inquire of residents which form of intervention they would prefer if the circumstances should arise.
Of the 25 residents tested, none were informed of the circumstances that permit the use of intervention and none were asked which form of intervention they preferred. (Finding 1, page 9)
Center officials agreed with our recommendation to discuss the types of intervention with the recipient and their guardians upon admittance to the Center and note the recipient’s preferences as required by statute.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY EVALUATE NEW ADMITTANCES Elisabeth Ludeman Developmental Center did not perform all required diagnostic evaluations for new admittances. Of seven new residents tested, one was not given all evaluations required. Of the six evaluations required to be performed within 14 days of admittance, five (83%) were not completed. (Finding 2, page 11)
Center Officials agreed with our recommendation to adhere to statutory requirements and Center policies regarding evaluations of all persons admitted to the Center. |

OTHER FINDING The remaining finding dealt with untimely deposits of locally held fund receipts. We will review progress toward implementation of all recommendations during the next compliance examination. AUDITORS’ OPINION
We conducted a compliance examination of the Center as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. This was a limited scope compliance examination. We also performed certain accounting procedures with respect to the accounting records of the Center to assist with the financial audit of the entire Department of Human Services. Financial statements for the Department will be presented in that report. ____________________________________ WILLIAM G.
