Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janeth Chavez and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Claudia Guangorena conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings. Licensing staff met with Annie Gekozyan, who provided a tour of the facility indoors and outdoors. Shortly after Gabriel Ross and Chana K. Blugrind arrived and met with licensing staff. There are 19 infants present and 7 staff upon arrival.

As per complainant the allegations state that on 05/13/2019 the facility was operating out of ratio and staff failed to meet diapering needs of the children in care. During the investigation LPA interviewed staff and random parents. Based on staff interviews there were no disclosures made. Parents disclosed that the facility has been out of ratio with staff singularly caring for more than 4 infants at a time and have increased diaper rashes. As per Annie Gekozyan the parents sign in and out electronically by using Brightwheel an electronic application. As per staff Brightwheel is used to communicate with parents and every time a child has their diaper changed it is logged in Brightwheel. No information was obtained regarding any increase in diaper rashes due to diapers not being changed.

Unsubstantiated

No disclosures were made by staff as to any infant having a diaper rash due to diaper not being changed regularly. During LPAs inspection the facility was operating within ratio. Based on information received and reviewed for the date in question, it cannot be determined if the facility was operating out of ratio at any given time during the hours of operation. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated.

The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213)-must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00. Exit interview was conducted with Annie Gekozyan, including but not limited to Provider Rights, Appeal Procedures and Agencies Consultative Role.
