Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), V. Wheatley conducted an inspection regarding the above allegations. LPA met wtih licensee Dorothy Hughes and husband Ernest Hughes at 4:20PM. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes both state there are no day care children enrolled since Labor Day. LPA did not observe any day care children on the premises today or during a previous inspection.

LPA inquired regarding Adult #1 residing in the home. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes denied the allegation and states Adult #1 does not reside in the home. The licensee and Mr. Hughes completed a declaration regarding Adult #1 not residing in the home. LPA inspected the garage which is locked. The licensee does not have a key and had to use a butter knife to open the garage door. LPA observed the garage full of several unsafe items. The garage is so full of items that there is no where to put a bed or personal items. There is no flat surface observed anywhere in the garage. LPA took photos of the items in the garage.

Investigation Branch Investigator Christina Ferris conducted an inspection and did not find sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation.

Based on information obtained through LPA Wheatley's observation and information obtained through interviews which were conducted, the allegations are unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated - A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Exit interview & copy provided to license.
