How to read violations

Nearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing. Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.

Paperwork — records, postings, forms Standard — supervision, ratio, training Health & safety — direct risk to a child

Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.

CCR 101229(a)(1) — (a) The licensee shall provide care and supervision as necessary to meet the children's needs.

“Based on staff interviews and records review it was determined that a child was able to leave the facility and go up the street without adult supervision; which poses an immediate risk to the health, safety, and Personal Rights of the children in care.”
