The purpose of this amendment is to update the administrator's name.
This is an amendment to May 24th 2023 report to include allegation.

On May 24th, 2023 at 9:40AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rosie Breault, made an unannounced inspection to conclude the complaint listed above. LPA met with Director Jacqueline McDonough and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. Director provided LPA a tour of the facility both inside and out. At the time of the inspection there were fourteen (14) children and four (4) staff present.
The Department obtained an allegation that a child’s legs were shaven while in care.
During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed staff, client and all parties could not corroborate the allegation. LPA reviewed documents provided by the reporting party to the facility which cannot substantiate the allegation.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
This investigation is closed.
