The record for Staff #3 did not contain documentation that a criminal history record check, a central registry check or a sex offender registry clearance from all states where they resided within the last five years was requested prior to employment.
Plan of Correction: During the inspection, Staff #3 mistakenly stated that she had stayed" in Califomia, which was interpreted as out-of-state residency. Following clarification with the staff member, it was confirmed that she has been a Virginia resident and never formally resided or established domicile in California. She had temporarily stayed with her sister for short periods while assisting her on a family matter, but this did not constitute out--of-state residence requiring additional background checks. The misunderstanding arose from a language barrier, and the staff member clarified the information immediately after the inspection. To prevent future miscommunication, all new hires will complete a written residency attestation, and the Director will conduct a verbal verification using clear, translated language when appropriate. Any future statements regarding prior locations will be reviewed to determine whether they
constitute actual residency under the regulatory definition.
