Violations:

Standard #:	22.1-289.035-B-4
Description:	Based on a review of 8 staff records, it was determined that the facility did not deny continued employment of a staff who did not have a search of the central registry finding within 45 days of employment from any other state in which the employee has resided in the preceding five years. Evidence: 1. The record for staff #7 (date of hire 9/10/21) did not contain documentation of a completed search of the central registry finding from Hawaii.

Staff #9 (Program Director) review the record for the staff #7 and confirmed that the search of the central registry finding from the state (Hawaii) in which staff #7 previously resided in has not been received.
Plan of Correction:	The facility responded: Staff #7 has previously completed the search of the central registry for Hawaii, but we were unable to locate it for viewing during the inspection. If it can't be located staff #7 will need to complete a new search of the central registry. All new staff will complete a search of the central registry for nay other state they have resided in outside of Virginia in the last 5 years and we will ensure it is received within 45 days.
