Inspection history
From January 7, 2022 to July 22, 2026
- 3 inspections
- 0 complaint visits
- 6 other visits
- 0 Type A citations, 2 Type B citations in all
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.
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:
