2
Standard 22VAC40-185-70-A
Based on a record review the center did not ensure all staff written information to demonstrate that the individual possessed orientation training required for the job position.
Evidence:
Staff #1, hired as a program leader on 05/09/2022 did not have documentation of having an orientation. A checklist was in the staff member's folder, however it was not signed as having received the training.
Plan of Correction: Staff #1 has given the training. The director will review with the staff again and have her sign off on the training sheet as completed.
Standard 8VAC20-780-340-B
Based on observation and interview the center did not ensure there was one adult on the premises, appointed by the licensee or designated by the administrator.
Evidence:
When the inspector arrived at the center, around or about 11:00am, the staff who answered the door stated the director was not present. When the inspector asked who was the designated person in charge, the staff, replied," There is no one."
Plan of Correction: The owner stated if the director is not present there is another staff who is next in line and should've said so upon licensing entering the building. The owner will discuss with all staff the importance of understanding the organizational chart and who roles each play in the event administration is not in the building.
