An unannounced inspection was initiated on 9/15/2023 and concluded on 9/21/2023 in response to a complaint that was received by the department on 9/12/2023 regarding allegations in the areas of injury reporting, supervision, building maintenance, and toileting procedures. The inspection was initiated on site on 9/15/2023. The inspector was on site from approximately 1:47-2:52 pm. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed. Additional interviews were conducted remotely.
The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. In addition to the original complaint, there were also violations found during the inspection regarding CPR and first aid requirements for staff. See the violation notice for more details.
Please complete the plan of correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from today. You will need to specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Just writing the word corrected is not acceptable. Your plan of correction must contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Please do not use staff names; list staff by positions only.
