Violations:
Standard #: 8VAC20-770-60-C-2
Description: Based on staff record review, a search of the central registry (CPS check), required within 30 days of employment, was not available for review.

Evidence:
Staff #1's (date of hire: 8/17/2016) record did not contain documentation of a Central Registry check. Interview with the staff confirmed that documentation of the staff's Central Registry check was not available for review during the inspection.

Plan of Correction: In regard to the missing Central Registry form. We have submitted a new registry form and sent a copy to the Licensing Inspector. We will send the official report once it is returned. In future we plan to make sure all files and forms are kept up to date and each employee?s file double checked each year. We have a checklist for each employee file that will help us make sure all forms are accounted for and up to date.

Standard #: 8VAC20-780-70
Description: Based on record review, staff records were incomplete.

Evidence:
Staff #1's record is missing two references as to their character and reputation, as well as competency required prior to the first day of employment.

Plan of Correction: The two missing references have been located and emailed to the Licensing Inspector. In future as referenced in the central registry response we will be checking all employee files to make sure all files and forms are present and make sure that all new employees have their references listed right away.
