(1) Previous inspection reports;
(2) The adult day care program's history of compliance with rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter; and
(3) The number and severity of complaints received about the adult day care program.

4. Failure to comply with any lawful request of the department in connection with the investigation and inspection is a ground for refusal to issue a license or for the revocation of a license.
