Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was conducted on April 15, 2024 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm in response to a complaint regarding procedures for emergencies. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed. The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid.

Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law that were unrelated to the complaint. Violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Please complete the plan of correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it within 5 business days. Your plan of correction must contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Please do not use staff names; list staff by positions only.

If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing specialist.
