2025

  1. Medium-High risk10/21/2025

    Comply with CPSL/CPSL information (3270.32(a)/3270.192(4))

    During renewal inspection, staff files were reviewed. Staff #1's NSOR clearance is dated for 9/29/25. This date indicates that the clearance was not obtained prior to the staff working with children. As of 2/1/25, a full and complete NSOR clearance is required to be on file prior to the staff working with children. (See code sheet for date of hire). Requirement: The operator shall comply with the CPSL and with Chapter 3490 (relating to protective services). Correction: The director and facility will comply with CPSL. Provider hired staff member 1 on a provisional basis with 3 of the 4 necessary clearances. The 4th clearance was applied for but not received prior to caring for children, in keeping with the previous policy. Now that provider knows under the new policy that the 4th clearance must be received - and not just applied for - prior to starting to care for children, provider will ensure new staff have this clearance on file prior to caring for children. Inspection: Renewal. Source: PA DHS COMPASS provider search (compass.dhs.pa.gov).
