Comments:

The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection on January 7, 2020 in response to a complaint received by our department on November 28, 2019. The inspector was on site from 3:25 PM to 6:10 PM. The allegations of the complaint were regarding care and protection; and parental involvement. Evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Violations were found in areas that were not a part of the original complaint. Please complete the "plan of correction" and "date to be corrected" for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to the licensing office within 5 business days. Your plan of correction should contain 1) steps to correct the non-compliance 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 preventive measure(s). If you have any questions, please contact the licensing inspector at 804-662-9092. If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector at (804) 662-9092.
