The disAbility Law Center of Virginia (dLCV) has uncovered a major concern that affects hundreds of incredibly vulnerable Virginians. For over four years, the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Licensure and Certification has failed to inspect our only state-operated intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID) – Southeastern Virginia Training Center (SEVTC).
But it doesn’t stop there. A staggering 57 intermediate care facilities in Virginia are overdue for their required inspections, representing over 90% of all ICF/IIDs in our state.
dLCV demands immediate action from the Commonwealth! Proper oversight is non-negotiable to safeguard Virginians with developmental disabilities from potential abuse and neglect.
