Inspector Notes
An unannounced inspection was initiated on 05/06/2025 and completed on 05/09/2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 04/23/2025 relating to allegations of staffing and supervision.
The inspection included interviews and observations.
The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports 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.
