Complaint Investigation
Census: 31 Capacity: 43 Deficiencies: 0 Date: Sep 2, 2021

Visit Reason
An unannounced complaint investigation visit was conducted in response to allegations that the authorized representative did not receive a copy of the admission agreement and that the administrator did not refund the authorized representative.
