Based on review of staff records, the center failed to ensure an out of state central registry finding was completed within the required time frame.

Evidence:
1. Staff #1 indicated they had in two other states than Virginia within the past five years. There was not a completed out-of-state central registry finding on file for either states. Date of employment for Staff #1 was 08/30/2021. A request for the out-of-state central registry finding should have been completed by 09/30/2021.
2. Staff #2 indicated they had lived in one other state within the past five years. There was not an out-of-state central registry finding on file. Date of employment for Staff #2 was 10/14/2020. A request for the out-of-state central registry finding should have been completed by 11/14/2020.
Plan of Correction: Administration thought that an out-of-state central registry finding had been completed and was included in the report of the other required out of state background checks. In the future administration will ensure out of state registry findings will be completed in the required timeframe. Evidence of the check being completed or sent out will be sent to the Licensing Inspector within 10 business days.
