On July 11, 2019 the Department received a complaint for an incident that occurred on June 28, 2019 regarding supervision. The licensing inspector and a representative from a local agency were on site conducting an unannounced inspection on July 17, 2019 from approximately 1:00 PM until 3:20 PM and on August 22, 2019 from approximately 10:00 AM until 10:30 AM. While on site, interviews with staff were conducted, observations were made and documentation was reviewed. Based on the information gathered during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence supports the allegation, therefore the complaint is valid. In addition to the original complaint, there was also a violation found during the inspection regarding safe sleep. See the violation notice for more details.
