Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kay Phillips and Rachel Zeron, conducted a case management visit at the facility on 04/07/2022 in response to the receipt of an unusual incident report (UIR) from the facility. The UIR was received by the licensing agency on 03/14/2022.

Upon arrival, LPAs met with facility director, Izabella Morales, and the owner, Celeste Etheridge, regarding the purpose of the visit. Facility records were reviewed, and interviews were conducted and a census taken. During the follow-up, it was noted no disciplinary actions were taken to ensure the safety of other children in care, as well as staff. As referenced in the incident report received, Child #1 (C1) received 18 behavioral reports with the majority resulting in the injuries to other children and staff. C1 was named as the aggressor in the reports. According to staff interviews, the licensee and director indicated the child was never suspended or terminated, or any other disciplinary action noted. Per the admissions policy, "any behavior, which will endanger or harm any child/children, will result in suspension and/or immediate termination."

Based on the information gathered and interviews conducted with pertinent parties at the facility, despite C1 having approximately 18 behavioral incidents resulting in injuries to other children and staff, the facility failed to enact the terms of their admissions agreement by allowing C1 to remain in care at the facility. The incidents occurred between October 2021 and March 2022.

See LIC809D for deficiencies cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12.

An exit interview was conducted with the director, Izabella Morales. A Notice of Site Visit and appeal rights were issued and discussed. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
