Violations

2
Standard 22.1-289.035-A
Based on record review and interview with the provider, the provider did not ensure that the results of a central registry check were obtained every five years for a caregiver. Evidence: The most recent central registry check on record for Caregiver #1 was dated 7/14/16.
Plan of Correction: I was confused about which background check was replaced by the fingerprints. I will submit a new central registry check right away.
Standard 8VAC20-800-180-A
Based on record review and interview, the provider did not obtain a current tuberculosis (TB) screening every two years for each caregiver. Evidence: The most recent TB screening on record for Caregiver #1 was dated 5/25/18. The most recent TB screening on record for Caregiver #2 was dated 6/14/18.
Plan of Correction: I have been attempting to make appointments with the Health Department but due to COVID I have not been able. I will call again to see if they can get us in sooner and if not, will look into other options for getting screened.
