| Facility failed to meet the following Requirement(s): | Corrected Date | Level of Harm | Residents Affected |
| All persons who have any contact with the residents in the facility shall not knowingly act or omit any duty in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the health, safety, welfare, or property of residents. No person who is listed on the Employee Disqualification List (EDL) maintained by the department as required by section 198.070, RSMo, shall work or volunteer in the facility in any capacity whether or not employed by the operator. For the purpose of this rule, a volunteer is an unpaid individual formally recognized by the facility as providing a direct care service to residents. The facility is required to check the EDL for individuals who volunteer to perform a service for which the facility might otherwise have to hire an employee. The facility is not required to check the EDL for individuals or groups such as scout groups, bingo leaders, or sing-along leaders. The facility is not required to check the EDL for an individual such as a priest, minister, or rabbi visiting a resident who is a member of the individual ' s congregation. However, if a minister, priest, or rabbi serves as a volunteer facility chaplain, the facility is required to check the EDL since the individual would have potential contact with all residents. I/II
