Licensing Specialist: Chelsea Vardell
Program Manager and Program Coordinator met with facility staff to discuss recent complaints and citations regarding staff/child ratio. Facility staff recognized difficulty in maintaining staff. The facility has implemented a 60-day plan for bonus/overtime for staff and a new hire bonus. Two recreational staff now work 3:00pm – 11:00 pm shift to provide activities for residents. Facility anticipates being fully staffed by the end of May 2024.
Licensing will continue to work with the facility and monitor their progress with hiring and maintaining staff to ensure staff/child ratios are kept on all shifts.
