Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Saraliz Velando, made an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of a complaint investigation initiated on 7/3/23. LPA Velando toured the facility and there were 72 children in care and 12 staff were present. The Department investigated the above allegations of sexual and physical abuse to include interviews of potential witnesses, parents, and staff. Pertinent information to include medical information was received and reviewed from responding agencies. There was no physical evidence of sexual or physical abuse found, therefore, the allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. No deficiencies are cited. Exit interview was conducted with Director, Sheree Nichols. Appeal Rights and licensing report were reviewed with the Director. Signature at the bottom of this report confirms receipt. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days. |
