Licensing Inspector (LI) conducted a complaint investigation on 09/22/2021 and 09/23/2021 regarding staff qualifications. LI reviewed Virginia Department of Health Professions license lookup for the Assisted Living Facility Administrator License. The complaint is deemed valid as violation related to Standard 22VAC40-73-140 was cited. Exit interview conducted with the Administrator and the violation notice regarding the standard deemed valid was corrected. Areas of non-compliance are identified on the violation notice. Please complete the "plan of correction" and "date to be corrected" for each violation cited on the violation notice and return to the licensing office within 10 calendar days.

Violations:

Standard #:	22VAC40-73-140-E
Complaint related:	No
Description:	Based on documentation, facility failed to ensure that the administrator shall be licensed as an assisted living facility administrator by the Virginia Board of Long-Term Care Administrators. EVIDENCE: On 09/22/2021, the Virginia Department of Health Professionals license lookup documented that the Assisted Living Facility (ALF) Administrator license and ALF Preceptor license had expired on 03/31/2021.
Plan of Correction:	On 9/22/21 the administrator was made aware of the expired license as the state had an incorrect email address resulting in the administrator never receiving notification of expired license. Upon notification the license was renewed immediately and email address updated and confirmed with the Department of Health Professionals.
