Inspector Notes
An unannounced inspection was initiated on 9/4/2024 and completed on 9/5/2024 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 8/27/2024 relating to allegations of ratio, supervision, physical plant, and behavioral guidance. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegations regarding ratio; 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. Allegations regarding supervision, physical plant and behavioral guidance were not able to be substantiated.
