Coverage

Record windowNovember 1, 2021 – November 1, 2026

  • This record is OCCL's list of licensed providers as of November 2026, with the compliance reviews and investigations in OCCL's files, which run from November 2021.
  • OCCL's compliance-review file lists only visits at which it cited a regulation; a visit with nothing cited is not in it, so a program may have had more visits than this record shows.
  • OCCL's notes on each citation and its written conclusion for each investigation are left out because they can describe children and staff; the regulation cited, the correction date and each investigation's result are kept.
  • Special conditions OCCL records on a license (a variance, or that a home is also a foster home) are left out, and license-exempt care is not in OCCL's list.

What This Report Cannot Tell You

Visits with nothing cited
OCCL's compliance-review file lists only visits at which a regulation was cited.
Investigation conclusions
Published by OCCL but left out of this record because they can describe children and staff.
Severity of citations
OCCL's files do not grade citations.
Staff qualifications and turnover
Not part of the published licensing record.
