Brasel arrived at the facility on a case management visit to follow-up on an unusual incident report submitted by the facility on 05/19/2023. The facility reported the licensee observed two children engaged in an inappropriate behavior. LPAs were greeted by the licensee and granted access to the facility. Upon arrival LPAs observed three children present and the licensee's spouse assisting with the children in care. LPAs toured the facility specifically where the incident took place, took a census, reviewed facility records, conducted interviews, and met with the licensee to discuss the reported incident.
