Comments:

An announced initial subsidy health and safety inspection was conducted on Thursday, April 13, 2023 from approximately 12:00am to 1:43pm, to review compliance with the requirements for the subsidy program. There were no children in care during the inspection. A walk-through of the home was conducted with the provider. Administrative records, emergency supplies and equipment and areas of the home where children are present were inspected. One caregiver/ household member record was reviewed during this inspection. The provider stated that transportation is provided at this time and medication is not administered. Information gathered during the inspection determined areas of non-compliance with applicable regulations or law, and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the provider.
