How to read this record

A compliance visit is a licensing visit by an OCCL specialist. When the specialist finds a regulation has not been met, the visit record carries a citation: the regulation's code and short description, the specialist's corrective-action note describing what was found, and the correction record — the date correction was due, whether the state has marked it completed, the date it was corrected, and how. A complaint investigation begins with a complaint; its record carries the state's result and the investigator's written conclusion. Delaware does not grade citations by risk or severity, so no grade is shown — the specialist's note is the substance of the record. One visit can produce several citations. A citation the state later records as corrected stays in the history; that is what a licensing record is.

OCCL Standards ComplaintJune 22, 2022Result: No Evidence to Substantiate with Concern

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.

On May 25, 2022, a complaint was accepted for investigation by OCCL regarding not understanding children's needs and respectful communication. An investigation was conducted on June 1, 2022. There is no evidence to substantiate this complaint because Ms. Yarborough stated staff members would wipe Child #1's runny nose and Staff #1 stated she did not write the text message to Parent #1. A concern noted is Staff #1 breached confidentiality by providing Parent #1 s telephone number to a family number who then sent the text message.
