The inspector’s account

On July 22 2026 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sarah Benson arrived at the facility to conduct a case management concerning staff without criminal background clearance.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sarah Benson conducted an audit of criminal record clearance for S1 and facility roster on Guardian.

Based on LPA's file review and Guardian, S1 does not have a criminal background clearance and is associated to the facility.

LPA toured the facility reviewed staff rosters and schedules to confirm all staff have criminal background clearances.

When asked how long has S1 worked at the facility the administrator reported S1 has not worked at this facility. The administrator stated S1 worked at our other facility in February for a few days believing the guardian site reported S1 as eligible. When staff didn't receive the clearance in the mail we called licensing to discover S1 was not cleared. As soon as it was discovered he was not background cleared we removed him from employment.

Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was provided to the administrator.
