Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean4
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- Licence status
- Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
- Capacity
- The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

“***REPEAT VIOLATION*** Based on a review of video footage, written documentation, and interview, staff did not always ensure the care, protection and guidance of children they were supervising. Evidence: 1. Staff failed to ensure child #1’s care protection and guidance when a two-year-old child (child #1) was bitten in the face by another child during a physical struggle between the two children in the Waddler classroom on 1/23/2024. There were 7 children between the ages of 12 months and 2 years of age in the care of two staff in the classroom at the time. 2. Classroom footage of the Waddlers classroom (ages 12 months through 2 years old) showed four children, to include child #1 and child #2, playing on the rug in the front room of the classroom. No staff were present in the front room of the two-room open suite which is divided by a large open archway. Child #2 pushes child #1 over from a sitting position, and lays on top of child #1. Staff #1 walks from the back half of the classroom down a side corridor within the classroom as child #1 is pinned underneath child #2, kicking her legs. Child #2 lowers his face to child #1’s face for several seconds before sitting upright, still on top of child #1. Child #1 raises her hands to cover her face. Approximately 10 seconds pass between when child #1 was pushed over by child #2 and when staff #1 lunges to quickly move a table blocking the corridor from the classroom and separates the children. Staff #2 is then seen walking into the view of the camera from the furthest rear portion of the classroom. 3. Interviews reveal that staff #1 was hanging the children’s artwork to dry in the corridor with her back to the children when she heard child #1 cry out. Staff #2 was hanging up the children’s coats on the coat hooks at the far side of the back room. Staff were unaware that a physical struggle was talking place for approximately 10 seconds before child # 1 cried out upon being bitten by child #2. 4. A photograph taken of child #1 following the incident on 1/23/2024 shows a dark red bite mark on child #1’s cheekbone under her right eye. 5. The incident report written following child #2 being bitten states that child #1 was bitten by another child who was “playing aggressively”.”

“Based on a review of records and interview, the licensee did not ensure that at least one staff member who meets the qualifications of a program leader or program director is regularly present in each grouping of children. Evidence: Records were reviewed for the two staff (staff #1 and staff #2) who were regularly assigned to the Waddler classroom and who were the only staff present in the waddler classroom on 1/23/2024 when a child was injured. Neither of the two staff records contained documentation to demonstrate the staff persons’ program leader qualification. The program director stated that she did not have additional documentation to demonstrate qualifications at the time of the inspection, but stated that she would check for staff #2’s record at the program was previously employed.

“*** REPEAT VIOLATION *** Based on interviews, incident report and additional, related documentation, staff did not always ensure the care, protection and guidance of children in attendance at the center. Evidence: The Program Director self reported an incident in which a child’s elbow was dislocated while in care. Interviews with staff and written documentation describe a two and a half year old child (child #1) incurring an injury to her arm on 1/10/2024 which resulted in a diagnosis of “nurses elbow” by the child’s medical provider. Interviews and written reports state that staff #1 held child #1 by her by her arm when child #1 “fell out” in response to being told it was time to transition from her current activity. Interviews confirm that staff are trained to never hold a child by their arm. However, staff #1 stated that “it was reflex” to catch child #1 by her arm, to keep her from falling to the floor.”

Based on interviews, review of documentation and photographs, and inspection of the physical plant, staff did not always ensure the care, protection and guidance of the children in their care. Evidence: 1. Staff failed to ensure the care, and protection of a two and a half year old child (child#1) who was bitten twice while in care at the center on April 13, 2023.
The inspectors’ words, 285 words
“Child #1?s parent observed two large bruises on child #1?s left arm after picking up child #1 from the center on April 13, 2023. Child #1 was examined by a physician on April 14, 2023 and a written report was obtained confirming that the bruises on child #1?s arm were consistent with human bite marks. The staff who cared for child #1 on April 13, 2023 were unable to tell the parent the circumstances surrounding child #1 being bitten and stated that they were not aware that child #1 had been bitten. 2. Staff failed to ensure the care, and protection of three year old child (child#1) when child #1 was able to open the exit door leading from the classroom to the exterior of the center where a parking lot is located. On October 20, 2023 staff reported to child #1?s parents via the center’s digital communication application that she observed child #1 independently open the classroom door that leads directly outside. On 12/8/2023, the licensing inspector pushed the actual exit door without touching the crash-bar and the door opened. The door was not closed sufficiently to engage the latch that secures it closed. After re-closing the door tightly, the door would not open without engaging the crash-bar. On 1/18/2024 the licensing inspector pushed the actual exit door without touching the crash-bar and the door did not open. The program director stated that sometimes another class will exit through that door to take their group outside and may have engaged the deadbolt so that the door would not close completely and they could re-enter the building without the door being locked to them, outside. The program director demonstrated how this could have been done”

What the record doesn’t say
- Virginia doesn’t grade how serious a violation is, so no severity is shown.
- Virginia publishes a complaint’s allegations and findings only when its inspection found a violation and the records are linked.
- Virginia doesn’t publish staffing levels or owners for individual providers.
- A plan of correction sent late, or not at all, isn’t online: Virginia says to ask the inspector.
- Virginia’s pages show about the last five years of inspections; for older ones, Virginia says to contact the licensing inspector.
- Virginia says this information may not be accurate, up to date or complete, and shouldn’t be the only source in choosing care.

Paid listing
None. Paid listings aren’t open yet. When they open, anything paid for will say “Paid by the provider”, and paying will never change a finding, a rating or the order of results.
