Standard #: 8VAC20-780-260-B Description: Based on a review of documentation and interview, it was determined that the facility did not ensure that the annual approval from the health department is provided. Evidence: 1. The most recent annual health inspection available for viewing during the inspection was dated 10/5/2020. 2. The director confirmed that the center has not had a health inspection due to the change in management and COVID. Plan of Correction: The director contacted the health inspector?s office to schedule an appointment.
Standard #: 8VAC20-780-440-G Description: Based on observation the center failed to ensure that cribs are used for children under 12 months of age and for children over 12 months of age who are not developmentally ready to sleep on a cot or mat. Evidence: 1 - Child 1 was observed sleeping on mat during the inspection. However, child 1 is 11 months old and therefore should be sleeping in a crib. Plan of Correction: The director will move all infants under 12 months to a crib.
