25 | On 7/28/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tobola conducted an unannounced Annual Required – 1 yr. Inspection for this facility and was greeted by staff, Esther Jalloh. Administrator, Ashley Johnson was contacted and notified of the visit. The facility currently provides care for 4 clients, 2 of which were attending day program and two of which present in the facility at the time of visit. Upon arrival LPA observed client (C1) leave the facility from the side gate then (C1) begin walking on the sidewalk. Staff (S1) was immediately observed walking out of the front door after noticing C1 had left the facility. C1 walked across the street but had been in line of sight. C1 had walked approximately one block from the facility and returned. However, LPA found that only one staff was present at the initial time of arrival and C1 requires 1:1 ratio care, meaning that one additional staff is required to provide care for a second client that was also in the facility. Lead staff, Rachel Wright and Amanda Simmons had arrived later during LPA's inspection. Facility is currently undergoing staff shortages but is in the process of hiring additional staff and are partnered with Maxim staffing agency.
