The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing department on 07/11/2019 regarding behavior guidance, background checks and staff qualifications. The inspection was initiated on 08/15/2019 and completed on 08/19/2019. On 08/15,2019 the inspector was on site from 1:28pm to 2:55pm and on 08/19/2019 from 9:45am to 11:30pm. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed. The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the original complaint, there were violations found during the inspection regarding out of state background checks. See the violation notice for more details. If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector at (804) 662-9038.
