A renewal inspection was initiated on 8/4/2021 and concluded on 8/5/2021. The Office Manager was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. The agency reported a current census of 37 children in placement. The inspector emailed the Office Manager a list of items required to complete the remote documentation review portion of the inspection. The inspector reviewed three (3) foster child, four (4) staff, and three (3) provider home records. Caseloads and the on call schedule were also reviewed. An exit interview was conducted with the Foster Parent Coordinator/CFS Supervisor and Office Manager on the date of inspection, where findings were reviewed and an opportunity was given for questions, as well as for providing any information or documentation which was not available during the inspection. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance(s) with applicable standards or law, and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility.
