25 | On 03/17/2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Perla Ordones and Laura Mejorado arrived at the facility to conduct a case management inspection regarding elevated levels of lead in the kitchen faucet (denoted as A on the lead results). During this inspection, LPAs toured the facility, inside and out, took census, verified facility associations, reviewed records, and discussed the following with Facility Representative Jazmine Alvarez.
LPAs toured the facility and observed that no children were present during this visit. LPAs inspected the kitchen area, specifically the sink in the the kitchen which maintained faucet A which had an Action Level Exceedance of 6.4ppb. LPAs observed faucet A to have a single hand washing spout and observed it to be made inaccessible to children and staff with a sign being taped over the sink with red tape. Per Facility Representative, since both kitchen faucet A and children's restroom sinks have been made inaccessible, with the children's sinks being made inaccessible out of precaution and not due to an ALE, a portable sink is being used by children and staff instead for hand washing. Additionally, the facility does not use kitchen faucet A for food preparation as food for the children is prepared off-site and water is provided to children through portable water dispensers.
Due to facility water outlets testing above approved lead levels, a deficiency has been cited. See LIC809D.
Additionally, the following resources were discussed and provided from PIN 21-21-CCP dated July 28, 2021:
