The center will provide meals. During the inspection, the inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. Compliance with some standards could not be determined since the center is not yet in operation. A total of nine staff records were reviewed along with background checks for the board officers. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. The center is in substantial compliance with the standards that could be determined. A six-month conditional license will be recommended. During the conditional period, the center will be subject to unannounced licensing inspections, with the first inspection taking place within the first sixty days of licensure. If you have any questions, please contact Licensing Inspector.
