Just got done with our first home visit. It was very casual and we passed everything. I so nervous that a fire alarm was going to malfunction or a bug was going to make an appearance, but it all went smoothly. I was actually surprised at the number of things that our caseworker took my word for. For all she knew my cleaners were really under the sink instead of the locked closet that I pointed to.
After the health inspection she interviewed me, and the questions were almost verbatim what was on the questionarre. Maybe she wanted to watch/hear me answer them to make sure I was telling the truth? The only things that she actually checked were that our hot water heater worked, that there was a thermometer in the fridge, that we have a first aid kit, and that one of the 6 fire alarms work, and that our fire extinguisher was tagged. After checking these few things she took pictures of each room and closet, and the yard.
I honestly was nervous about the dogs. We have a pit bull and she looks like one (even though our vet has her down as a boxer mix). I have been worried from the beginning that someone would judge our dog based on her breed instead of paying attention to her disposition. However, our case worker is a dog lover and was best friends with both our dogs within a few minutes
I can't think of anything else to really tell you right now... I am just so full of relief. If you want to know more specifics just message me and ask.
