Complaint Investigation
Census: 6 Capacity: 6 Deficiencies: 0 Date: Dec 14, 2023

Visit Reason
An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted to investigate allegations that the facility did not maintain accurate staff records, did not have a qualified administrator, and housed staff in the facility garage.

Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was unsubstantiated. Allegations included inaccurate staff records, unqualified administrator, and staff housed in the garage. Interviews with staff and administrator, review of certificates and records, and physical inspection found no evidence to support these claims.

The facility staff records were accurate, the administrator was qualified with a valid certificate, and the garage was used only for storage, not housing staff. Therefore, all three allegations were unsubstantiated.
