A case management unannounced inspection was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sandy Husband while opening a complaint investigation at the facility. During the inspection, LPA Husband witnessed at 1:10 PM 2 children (C1 and C2) playing on the kitchen floor that contained food particles, specifically a peanut and other unidentifiable food objects that were choking hazards to children in care. The kitchen was in an off-limits area according to the facility map and the Department was not notified of the facility changes. There were 8 infants under 12 months of age that had access to the kitchen floor without any carpeting present and one infant was sitting in a wobbly position and almost fell backward onto the tile floor presenting an unsafe environment for the infant. The cabinet under the sink was accessible to the children in care because the latch on the kitchen door was not working. Inside the cabinet contained accessible Clorox bleach and other cleaning supplies. The facility was not sanitary and the infant play area contained food particles on the rugs where children were laying along with mold, dirt, and stains on the walls and in the corners of the play area. The accessible refrigerator was in the area where infants were crawling, laying and sitting with a wet towel on the floor to absorb a leak in which the director stated had been leaking for approximately 6 to 7 weeks. The gate also contained a broken spindle that needs to be repaired. This presents and immediate and potential risk to children in care. This report was read and discussed with the director.
Notice of Site visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit.
The following Type A violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 12, were cited: see LIC 809-D's. Reports citing Type A violations are to be provided to parents/guardians of children currently in care of the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. Form LIC9224 Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Reports was provided to the designated Administrator during today's visit.
