Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring inspection was initiated and completed on 1/08/2025 in response to a self-report received by the licensing office on 1/03/2025 relating to a serious injury that occurred at the center. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations.

The information gathered during the inspection determined no violations with applicable standards or law regarding the serious injury. Though not a part of the original self report, violations that were not reported were found related to document posting requirements, building maintenance and physical plant requirements and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to be corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the violation will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five business days from today, which will be the close of business on 1/15/2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
