13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), T. Tran arrived at the above licensed facility to conduct a subsequent complaint inspection for the purpose of concluding a personal rights violation.
On 10/11/2024, about 10:35AM, during the choice time at the block area, C1 tripped and fell hit the head on the edge of a wooden shelf. C1 sustained a deep open wound in the head requiring immediate medical attention. Facility contacted child’s parent at 10:37AM and parent requested staff to call 911. Despite parent request, staff delayed 25 minutes for C1 to receive proper medical treatment then called 911 at 11:02AM. Paramedics arrived at 11:05AM assessing the child might be needing stitches. At around 11:13AM, child was transferred to PIH Health Downey Hospital and received two staples to close the wound. Therefore, the above personal rights allegation of facility staff delayed C1 from receiving proper medical treatment was substantiated. A finding means that the complaint is substantiated, and the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
Facility was cited type A deficiency, (see Complaint Investigation Report LIC 9099D). Upon receipt of a Type A deficiency, facility shall post and provide copies of this licensing report to parent/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. Exit interview was conducted, and a notice of site visit was provided to Samantha J.
