Inspector Notes

An in-person annual subsidy inspection was initiated by licensing staff and concluded on April 6, 2023, between the hours of 9:00am to 10:00am. There were three children(7pts) in care and no children living in the home under the age of 12 present with the vendor. The inspector reviewed no children?s records because the vendor did not have children's records for each child in care and two adult/household member records submitted by the vendor to ensure compliance with the health and safety regulations.

Information gathered during the inspection determined areas of non-compliance with applicable regulations or law, and violations were documented on the Violation Notice issued to the vendor.

If you should have any questions, please call or send an email to karen.dickens@doe.virginia.gov. Thank you.
