The department and any duly designated officer or employee thereof shall have the right to enter upon and into the premises of any home health care provider who has applied for a license or who is licensed pursuant to this chapter at any reasonable time and, upon demand, have the right to inspect and copy books, accounts, papers, records and other documents in order to determine the state of compliance with this chapter and any rules in force pursuant thereto.
