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.
The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced inspection by phone on 1/13/2021, in response to a complaint that the Department received on 1/08/2021 regarding supervision. Interviews with staff were completed. Additional records were reviewed on 1/14/2021.
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 was a violation found during the inspection regarding background checks. See the violation notice for more details.
Please complete the ?plan of correction? and ?date to be corrected? for each violation listed on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from receipt. Your plan of correction should 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.
If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector at (804) 662-9038.
