During today’s inspection, the facility was toured and LPA observed 4 children in care.

On 7/22/24 and 10/11/24 LPA Sims did not observe any accessible alcohol in the home.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee Stephenie Blair. Appeal rights were provided.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
