Inspector Notes

The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the department on May 12, 2023, regarding an allegation of forbidden action by staff. The investigation was initiated on May 18, 2023, and completed on May 19, 2023. On May 18, 2023, the licensing inspector conducted an unannounced inspection from 9:55 AM to approximately 11:30 AM. Interviews were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed. The inspector later followed up with the director via email to request additional documentation. The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation does not supports the allegation, therefore the complaint is determined to be not valid. Violations of standards were found during the inspection and are identified on the violation notice.

Please complete the plan of correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from the date of receipt. Please specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standards, 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again, and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measure(s).
