Violations
Text reproduced verbatim · Ohio Department of Children and YouthNearly every licensed provider accumulates some.

Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.
Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.
