Comments:
The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced joint complaint inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing department on 04/10/2024 regarding allegations of forbidden actions. The inspection was initiated on April 11, 2024 at approximately 1:30 PM. 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 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. Please do not use staff names, list staff by positions only.
