An unannounced inspection was initiated on 4/10/2024 in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing department on 3/28/2024 regarding allegations in the areas of supervision and building maintenance. The inspection was initiated on 4/10/2024 and completed on 4/16/2024. On 4/10/2024, the inspector was on site from approximately 12:23 pm to 1:26 pm. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed. Additional documentation was reviewed remotely.
The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. During the investigation an additional violation not related to the complaint was found. See the violation notice for more details.
