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 December 08, 2020 and concluded on December 16, 2020. A self-reported incident was received by the department regarding allegations in the areas of Children Services and Provider Homes. The Therapeutic Foster Care Program Director was contacted by email to initiate the inspection. The inspector emailed the Program Director a list of items required to complete the inspection. The agency reported 9 children in care and 18 approved provider homes. The inspector reviewed 1 complete child record and 1 complete provider home record. The evidence gathered during the investigation supported the self-report of non-compliance with standards or laws, and violations were issued.
