Violations:

Standard #:	8VAC20-800-240-A
Description:	Based on observation, the provider did not ensure areas and furnishing of the family day home inside and outside, were maintained in a clean, safe, and operable condition. Evidence: The miniblinds, in the kitchen area where children are in care, were broken. The broken slat created a loop that could pose a risk of strangulation. The broken slat also had a rough edge that could snag the skin of a child in care.
Plan of Correction:	Per the provider: I will replace the blind and move it up so they can not pull it down.
