FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:

Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

There is a designated area where infants can rest or nap without being distracted or disturbed. The area is equipped with sufficient sleeping equipment and cots for each child, and all mats and bedding are stored in their appropriate location. Padding in cribs did not fit tightly Assistant Director was reminded padding must fit snug director understood and said she would be purchasing new sleeping mats. A technical violation was issued. Additionally, the napping equipment and linens are washed and cleaned daily. LPAs reminded the Director that emergency exits must always remain clear, and that cots and cribs cannot be placed in a manner that obstructs emergency exits.

Per Assistant Director, parents provide disposable diapers and wipes for infants. The changing tables were observed to be equipped with at least 1" thick padding and covered with disposable paper. Additionally, the changing tables are designed with at least 3" elevated edges to prevent any accidents. These tables are located within arm's reach of the sink, and disposable wipes are used to clean the area after each use.

Parents provide food service items for their infants, and the staff ensures that these items are sent home with the infants each day. During the observation by LPAs, it was noted that the food provided by parents was stored appropriately in the refrigerator and was labeled accordingly. Plastic baby water bottles or cups with lids are used to provide drinking water for the infants.

The outdoor surface area appears to be well-maintained and in good condition. It's covered with padding underneath, making it a safe and comfortable space for infants to play.

LPAs checked the personnel and children's records at the facility. A sample of children's files contained complete information such as medical assessments, needs, services, feeding plans, and signed admission agreements. The staff files were well-organized and thorough, with proof of educational credentials. Multiple staff members were observed to have valid CPR cards and vaccine proofs for Measles, Pertussis, and Influenza in their files.
