Comments:

A subsidy health and safety inspection was completed on May 6, 2019 from approximately 10:30a.m. to 12:45p.m. to review supplemental health and safety requirements. Thirty-three children, ages twenty-three months to six years old, were in care and six staff were on premises during the inspection. Staff and children were observed in classrooms engaged in activities to include art, hand washing, toileting and diapering. Interviews and interactions were conducted and medications were reviewed. Five children?s records and five staff records were reviewed. The Owner/Director was available for the inspection and present at the exit interview at which time inspection findings were reviewed and an Acknowledgement of Inspection form was signed and left with the licensee. A licensing inspection was also conducted this date; the two inspections combined cover all subsidy health and safety requirements. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection. Violations were found during the supplemental subsidy health and safety inspection and are identified on the violation notice.

Evidence: 1. Staff #1's record, hired on April 15, 2019, contained a tuberculosis screening/test dated February 17, 2019. Staff #2's record, hired on April 18, 2019, contained a tuberculosis screening/test dated May 10, 2019. Staff #3's record, hired on February 25, 2019, contained a tuberculosis screening/test dated March 19, 2019. Therefore, these tuberculosis screenings/tests were not completed within the required time frame. 2. Administrator #1 acknowledged that these tuberculosis screenings/test were not done at the time of employment but indicates she was not aware of this policy change.
Plan of Correction:	The Owner/Director will not hire new staff without them first completing the tuberculosis screenings/test at hire.

Plan of Correction:	The Owner/Director will add a written consistent care to the center's polices.
Standard #:	22VAC40-665-770-B-5
Description:	Based on a review of records, the licensee failed to include a component in the emergency preparedness plan regarding continuity of operations procedures to ensure that essential functions are maintained during an emergency.
