As a Host provider, how often should I expect visitors…either from your company or the State?

Host providers should be ready for a visitor at any time. The State will likely show up unannounced at least once a year. We will come more often in order to provide training and support. However, we will always come announced unless we suspect a significant problem that can only be determined during an unannounced visit. Host providers are expected to embrace such visitation, although we promise it will not be intrusive or excessive.
