Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was conducted on June 4, 2024 from 10:30 am to 1:40 pm in response to a complaint regarding operational responsibilities and hand washing and toileting procedures. 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. Though not a part of the original complaint, there were violations found during the inspection. See the violation notice for more details.

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