13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer Velasco met with Facility Representative, Director Leonel Gutierrez (Director), for the purpose of conducting an unannounced complaint investigation inspection pertaining to the above allegation. The purpose of today's inspection was explained to Director. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews, observed care, and obtained relevant documentation. Based on witness statements and document reviews, staff did not prevent a child in care from being harmed by other children in multiple incidents, with the child sustaining scrapes, bruises, and swelling when pushed, dragged, or hit with objects by other children. Based on witness statements and document reviews, while staff did provide authorized representative with incident reports for some incidents, staff did not provide a child's authorized representative with incident reports for multiple incidents in which the child was injured. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the above allegations are SUBSTANTIATED. The Facility Representative was informed that this report documents one Type A citation and must be posted for parental review for 30 consecutive days. The facility must also provide a copy of this licensing report to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in each child's file for verification. Exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with Facility Representative, Leonel Gutierrez. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
