Start with what its state file shows: ask for the October 17, 2024 survey report and how each non-core item was fixed within the 30 days Idaho allows.
- There were 2 complaint investigations in three years; ask what they concerned.
- Ask how many caregivers work days and nights for 90 beds; Idaho sets no ratio, so the written pattern matters.
- Ask whether the nurse is on staff or contracted, and how fast they come for a change in condition.
- Ask what would trigger a move out of the secured unit, and what extra the unit costs.
