Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia. A renewal inspection was initiated on 4/5/21 and concluded on 4/13/21. The administrator was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. The administrator reported that the current census was 37. The inspector emailed the administrator a list of items required to complete the inspection. The inspector reviewed three resident records, three staff records, medication administration records, local fire and health inspections, and other documentation submitted by the facility to ensure documentation was complete. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law, and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. Please complete the 'plan of correction' and 'date to be corrected' for each violation cited on the violation notice and return to the licensing office within 10 calendar days. Please specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Just writing the word 'corrected' is not acceptable. The 'plan of correction' must contain: 1) Steps to correct the non-compliance with the standards, 2) Measures to prevent the non-compliance from occurring again, and 3) Person responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Thank you for your cooperation and if you have any questions, please contact me via e-mail at m.massenberg@dss.virginia.gov.
