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 8/26/2021 and concluded on 9/07/2021. A self-reported incident was received by the department regarding allegations in the areas of diapering. The director was contacted by telephone to conduct the investigation. The inspector emailed the director a list of documentation required to complete the investigation, video footage was reviewed and interviews were conducted.
The evidence gathered during the investigation supported the self-report of non-compliance with standards or law and violations were issued. Any violations not related to the self-report, but identified during the course of the investigation can be found on the violation notice.
