The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing department on November 21, 2023, regarding allegations of special care provisions, behavioral guidance, and forbidden actions. The onsite inspection was conducted on December 21, 2023, from approximately 9:45 AM to 12:52 PM. Additional documentation was obtained and reviewed on February 29, 2024. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made in the center, and documentation was reviewed.
The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. See the violation notice for more details.
Please complete the plan of correction and the date to be corrected for each violation listed on the violation notice and return it to the department within 5 business days from receipt. Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s); 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures.
