An unannounced investigation was initiated on 2/22/2024 in response to a self-report that was received by the licensing department on 2/12/2024 regarding allegations in the areas of injury reporting, forbidden action, and care and protection. The inspection was initiated on 2/22/2024 and completed on 3/14/2024. On 2/12/2024, the inspector was on site from approximately 10:26 am to 1:20 pm. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed. An additional interview was conducted remotely. The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegation; therefore, the self-report is determined to be valid. See the violation notice for more details.
