Inspector Notes
The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in response to a complaint received by the department on March 7, 2023. The complaint was regarding allegations of non-compliance in the areas of supervision, forbidden action, and food services. On Thursday, March 16, 2023, the inspector was on site from 10:00am to approximately 11:40am. Interviews were completed, observations were made at the center, and documentation was reviewed. Additional interviews were conducted off-site and additional information was submitted to the inspector electronically. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegation, therefore the complaint is determined to be valid. See the violation notice for more details.
