25 | An inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mila Quinto. The LPA toured the facility with licensee, Maria Ortiz-Frosh. A review of adult records indicates that all facility residents, staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There are presently two adults including the licensee living in the home. During today's inspection the home and grounds were toured and there were no children in care. Operating hours are 7am – 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.
This is a one story with four bedrooms and three-bathroom home. The floor plan was verified and no changes from previous visit. The off-limits areas were made inaccessible to children by means of baby gates and door locks. The outdoor area is free from hazards. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were stored out of the reach of children. The licensee stated poisonous items are not stored on site, and none were observed during today's inspection. The home provides safe toys, equipment, and materials. During today's inspection each child was observed to have safe, healthful and comfortable accommodations, furnishings, and equipment. There is a working carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, and observed the fire extinguisher does not meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. LPA observed the valve on the required 2A 10BC was not fully charged; however, licensee has another fire extinguisher that is charged but the size (5-B-C) does not meet the State Fire Marshall standards. The licensee has a current roster of children in care (obtained copy of roster). The facility has conducted an emergency drill within the past six months and log was verified.
