The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing department on February 7, 2020 regarding allegations of inadequate supervision, food and nutrition, physical plant and ratios. The inspection was initiated on March 10, 2020 and completed on March 10, 2020. On March 10, 2020, the inspector was on site from 11:10am to 12:35pm. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed.
The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegations; therefore, the complaint related to ratio is determined to be valid, but the complaint related to supervision, food and nutrition and physical plant is determined to be not valid. See the violation notice for more details.
If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector at (804) 662-9038.
