Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 6/25/2024 and concluded on 09/11/2024. In response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 6/21/2024 regarding allegations of physical plant, administration, forbidden action, and handwashing. The inspector and administrator were on site from 7:30am until 8:50am. The inspection included observations, interviews, and record review.

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports some of the allegations; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and the violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to be corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five (5) business days from today, which will be the close of business on 9/18/2024. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
