LANCASTER UNITED METHODIST CHILDRENS CENTER

Inspection history

Type A citations are for the most serious violations, where CDSS finds an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of children in care; they are issued even if the problem is fixed on the spot. Type B citations are for violations that could become an immediate risk if not corrected. An inspection checks compliance with the law and the licensing rules. A complaint visit is part of investigating a complaint. "Other visits" are visits the state doesn't list as either an inspection or a complaint visit. The number of complaint visits and completed complaint investigations can differ; the reports on the official record show which visits belong to which complaint.

A citation means a licensing analyst found that a licensing rule wasn't being met at the time of the visit. CDSS notes that some citations may be under appeal or already corrected. Read the official record for details.

Citations by kind of visit, as the state counts them:

• Inspections: 0 Type A, 0 Type B
• Other visits: 0 Type A, 2 Type B
• Complaint investigations: 0 Type A, 2 Type B

The state's counts by kind of visit don't always line up with the dates below. The reports on the official record show which visit each citation came from.

Complaint investigations

For each completed complaint investigation, the number of allegations CDSS found substantiated (the evidence showed the violation happened) or unsubstantiated (there wasn't enough evidence to show it happened), and the citations issued. The state's data file leaves out allegations CDSS found unfounded (false, or with no reasonable basis), so these counts may not include every allegation made.

   2 allegations: 0 substantiated, 2 unsubstantiated. No citations.

2. August 2, 2024 · Investigation completed

   3 allegations: 0 substantiated, 3 unsubstantiated. No citations.
