Comments:

The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing department on March 15, 2024, regarding allegations of program procedures for behavioral guidance. An inspection was initiated on April 1, 2024, and completed on April 16, 2024. On April 16, 2024, the inspector was on site from 9:15 AM to 11:30 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 does not support the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the complaint, there were violations found during the inspection regarding staff records and background checks. 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.
