On 5/2/2022 @ 10:30 a.m., Licensing Program Analsyt (LPA), Joelle Redding, made an unnannounced visit to deliver findings on the above-referenced allegations.

During this investigation, interviews were conducted and relevant documentation was reviewed. Based on the information obtained, LPA was unable to verify that foods served by the facility caused the rash the child sustained on the face as they were foods the child had consumed on prior occasions without incident. The marks (described as bruises) on the forearm cannot be explained and there is no medical verification that the marks were caused by the action or inaction of facility staff. Therefore, the above-referenced allegations are Unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is Unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. No deficiencies are cited. Notice of Site Visit was given and will remain posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
