Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-770-40-D-1-a
Description:	Based on review, 2 of 3 staff files, and 2 of 5 household files indicated that the searches of the central registry (CPS checks) on file at the Family Day Home (FDH) were older than five (5) years. Evidence - 1. On the date of inspection the current CPS checks on file at were as follows: Staff #1 (dated - 04/28/2016), Staff #3 (dated - 05/09/16), Household Member #1 (dated - 05/09/2016), and Household Member #2 (dated - 05/09/2016). 2. The Provider mistakenly requested the wrong background check (for all four individuals) through the Virginia State Police and not through a search of the central registry.
Plan of Correction:	New CPS checks will be conducted through the online portal. Once these new findings are obtained, they will be shared with the Licensing Inspector.
