25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Carolyn Tuba conducted an unannounced case management inspection on 11/28/2022. A COVID-19 risk assessment was conducted prior to entering the facility. There have been 2 positive cases as of today, November 28, 2022 and LPA switched to an N-95 mask. LPA arrived at the facility at 10:45 am. and met with Office Staff, Veronica Magana, who called for Carmen Robles, School Nurse who provided me with a tour of the facility. There were 36 children and 8 staff present during the inspection.
The purpose of today's inspection is to inspect the water lead test results, received on October 26, 2022. Results indicate that 6 water sources had action level exceedance of lead. There are 2 sinks located in Flanner 01 (Room 2), combo sink/water fountain located in Flanner 03 (Room A), outside drinking fountain outside of Flanner 04 (Room B) and sink located inside of Flanner 04 (Room B) had resulted in higher levels of 5.5 parts per billion. LPA observed that some faucets and fountains are not accessible through bags and tape to make them inaccessible to children in care and/or turned off. LPA suggested that all sinks and fountains have a bag placed and taped up, as well as signage stating “Do not use”. LPA spoke with the Program Manager, Lucy Barcelo who arrived approximately around 12:30 pm. and discussed documentation of LIC 9276 and LIC 9275. Program Manager contacted Director, Rosa Ducoing to inquire. The Director sent LPA via email, providing documentation of LIC 9276, LIC 9275 and a facility sketch, as well as stating that she is working with Bassett Unified School District’s Maintenance, to access the extent of the issues and to make the necessary repairs. Per the Director procedure process is to get three quotes for the work to be done, so at this time an exact time frame cannot be provided, but Director will keep LPA informed of the progress. |
