Comments:

An announced initial inspection was initiated and concluded on 8/19/2022. The inspector was on site from 9:30 am-10:37 am. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, personnel, household members, physical environment and equipment, care of children, emergencies, caregiver training, preventing the spread of disease and nutrition. Three caregiver records were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. 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.

Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-800-320-G
Description:	Based on observation and interview, the provider did not ensure that a wood burning fireplace and associated chimney was inspected annually by a knowledgeable inspector to verify that the device was properly installed, maintained, and cleaned as needed. Evidence: 1. A wood burning fireplace was observed during the inspection on 08/19/2022. 2. The provider acknowledged that an annual fireplace inspection had not been completed.
Plan of Correction:	We will begin tearing out the current fireplace, mantle and hearth immediately. Upon completion of the tear down we will replace the walls into a normal corner making sure to properly close of the flue and put up appropriate drywall. As this is being done, we will be taking pictures of the progress as we go so that you can see how the work progressed once it is completed so you can be assured that it has been completely removed. When the work is complete we will send the pictures and a notice that the work is complete.
