Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Facility person #1 has completed well over 12 hours between 7/2024 and 7/2025, so we can count 5.5 of those hours towards the previous year. This still leaves Facility Person #1 with more than 12 hours to count for the current year. This facility person has repeatedly gone over the mandated hours due to CPR trainings, etc. (Please see the attached records of course completions). Moving forward, July 2025, Facility Person #1 will be accurate in completing 12 hours for year.
