1. Recommend the organization of staff records be improved and allow for ease of access during an on-site inspection. Today some staff records were not on-site, and were requested from multiple other sites. The inspector waited on-site approximately 1 hour for documents to be sent from the other sites, but not all were received. The sheer volume of documents being sent were beyond what was requested and created a situation of too much paper to sort through. The inspector granted a 5:00pm deadline for the outstanding documents, at which time documents submitted were not what was requested.
2. Staff background checks will not be accepted if sent through any third-party, as was presented multiple times to the inspector.
