Inspection history

Last 3 years: November 12, 2023 to November 12, 2026, when the state's files were last updated

  • 3 inspections
  • 4 violations cited on these visits

A violation means an inspector found a licensing rule wasn't met at the time of the visit. Programs are expected to fix what was cited, and the state often asks for a written corrective action plan. Read the official record for details.

Below are all 6 visits in the state's files from June 24, 2021 to July 21, 2026, newest first, with 10 violations in all. A follow-up visit checks on violations cited earlier. Each violation shows OEC's short title for it and the regulation cited. The rule text shows which regulation was cited, not what the inspector saw; ask the program or OEC for details. A case result of "Corrective Action Plan" means the state asked the program for a written plan to fix what was cited, and "Closed" means the state lists the case as closed. Case results and status are shown as the state published them.
