Comments:

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia. A monitoring inspection was initiated on September 11, 2020 and concluded on September 18, 2020. The Therapeutic Foster Care Program Director was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. The agency reported 31 children in care, and 35 approved provider homes. The agency reports 3 new staff (case worker trainees) since the last inspection. Board Officer Records were reviewed and determined to be in compliance at this time. The inspector emailed the Program Director a list of items required to complete the inspection. The inspector reviewed 4 complete children records (including one discharged record), 4 complete provider home records, 3 additional provider home records (background and medical records only), and 3 staff records submitted by the agency to ensure documentation was complete. Information gathered during the inspection determined no non-compliance with applicable standards or law. The licensee has five business days from receipt of the inspection documents to sign each page of the inspection documents and return to the Licensing Office. The licensee should retain a copy to be posted at the facility. Results of the inspection are subject to public disclosure and will be posted on the Virginia Department of Social Services public website within five business days, regardless of whether or not the Plan of Correction is completed.
