Inspector Notes

An unannounced complaint inspection was conducted today, April 2, 2024, in response to allegations regarding forbidden actions received by the department on March 29, 2024. The director was present during the inspection. The inspector was on site from approximately 3:20 pm until 4:15 pm. Interviews with staff were conducted and observations were made. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegations of non-compliance with standards or law and therefore was not valid. Violations not related to the complaint, but identified during the investigation can be found on the violation notice.
If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector.
