25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Seung Lee and Priscilla Ochoa conducted an unannounced annual required inspection to the above facility. LPAs met with assistants Maria Alvarez and Sabina Garcia. A current children’s roster was available for review. There were 4 children present upon arrival.
This is a 2-story home which consists of 3 bedrooms, 1 upstairs and 2 downstairs, 2 bathrooms, 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs, kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room, front yard and backyard (fenced). Main care is provided in the living room and 2 bedrooms downstairs. The children use the bathroom next to the main care bedroom. Areas off limits to children and parents include: upstairs and the laundry room. The facility provides food for children in care. Hours of operation are Mon-Fri 7am-6pm hours.
During the inspection LPAs observed powdered bleach and other cleaning products located in a cabinet under the sink of the restroom used by children. The cabinet itself did not have a latch or any type of lock that prevented children from accessing the materials inside. This is an immediate risk to children in care.
Assistants stated that licensee has no firearms or weapons stored in the home.
All areas identified on the facility sketch that are accessible for children to use were inspected for safety, comfort, and cleanliness. There is telephone service via a lan line that is used and the stays at the facility during operation hours. There is ventilation and heating (central air).
The valve on the required 2A10BC fire extinguisher indicates fully charged and was serviced on 9/25/2023, as indicated on service tag and needs to be updated. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and are operable. |
