In this episode of the RAL Room Assisted Living Podcast, Charlie Cameron and Angela Brown are joined by Kimberly Rodriguez, founder of Action Over Words Group and former state inspector, to share an insider's guide to passing assisted living state inspections. 🏡

Drawing from years of experience inspecting communities across multiple states, Kimberly explains what inspectors are really looking for, common mistakes operators make, and practical strategies to help you stay compliant before inspection day arrives.

Here's what we cover:
✅ How state inspection protocols work and where to find them
✅ What inspectors look for during tours, documentation reviews, and medication observations
✅ Common compliance mistakes that lead to citations—and how to avoid them
✅ Tips for preparing your staff with mock inspections and proper documentation
✅ What to do if you disagree with an inspector or receive an unfair citation
✅ Best practices to stay inspection-ready all year long

👉 Whether you're preparing for your initial license, annual survey, or complaint investigation, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you confidently navigate state inspections and protect your assisted living business.
