Chicago · Licensed family home
Washington, Sandra
- Mid-size family home, licensed for up to 8 children.
- Shortlist has found no website for it yet.
What these mean, and where they come from
Mid-size means licensed for 8 children, the size at least half of Chicago-area’s 3,345 licensed family homes hold. Small is 2 to 7; larger is 9 to 12.
Shortlist doesn’t have these yet: cost, hours and late pickup, teaching approach, ratios and staff, a typical day, sick and biting policies.
What the state has found
Routine visits: 3 of 3 cited something
Chicago-area family homes: the state cites something at about 4 in 5 routine visits. Three visits are too few to read as a pattern.

- On file
- 3 visits since July 2017 — all of them cited findings
- Fixed?
- The latest correction deadline was August 15, 2020. Illinois DCFS does not publish whether it was made.
- Most serious
- Illinois DCFS does not publish a severity level for a citation, so there is no most-serious to name.
Illinois DCFS cites each subsection of a rule separately, so one audit of a filing cabinet can produce ten citations. It publishes the rule’s title and a correction deadline, but no description of what was observed.
