The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The Idaho fire drill log produces the drill record at the frequency this state sets, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — Idaho Dept. of Health & Welfare — Residential Assisted Living Program and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
