25 | On 09/23/21 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Araceli Gibson conducted an unannounced case management incident inspection a census of 17 children was taken. LPA met with Director Theresa Aramante and toured the facility. LPA followed up on an incident that was reported to CCL in 08/31/21. The incident involved an injury to a preschool child. On 08/31/21 a child was getting off the changing table onto some wooden stairs but lost his balance. The child missed the last two steps of the stairs and fell hitting his forehead on the tile floor. The child was assessed by a doctor and was able to return back to preschool the very next day. LPA discussed the incident with the director regarding preventative safeguards to reduce the risk of future incidents. LPA observed the stairs to be sturdy, and stable, however there is no railing for support. LPA and director discussed training for staff and children with pictures demonstrating safety when changing table is in use. Holding children’s hand while walking down the steps or lifting children up or down. Director plans to request padding for the handicap bar and a portion of the wall adjacent to the stairs. No padding for the floor as it could be a tripping hazard. The facility was providing adequate supervision during the incident, notified authorized representatives, called 911, and properly documented the incident with Community Care Licensing.
No deficiencies were issued for today's visit.
