13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michelle Hood conducted an announced tele-inspection to deliver complaint findings for the allegation below. LPA met with Licensee. It was alleged child sustained unexplained injury while in care. Interviews were conducted with licensee, facility staff, daycare parents (2), daycare children (2) and outside resources (2). Facility staff members interviewed did not observe bruising on the child’s right ear; however, outside resources observed child with fading bruises on the right ear. Interview with the parent revealed she believed the injury occurred at the daycare. Review of the medical record for the child reflected no information regarding the assessment of the ear or documentation of an injury to the ear. While in care at the facility child showed no visible signs of injury, nor exhibiting any other signs of distress. Based on evidence obtained, LPA was unable to determine if the injury occurred at the facility.
Due to conflicting statements obtained during the course of the investigation, the above allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. Licensee was provided appeal rights (LIC9058 01/16) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. Provided Notice of Site Visit. LPA observed that LIC 9213 was posted.
No deficiencies cited. An exit interview was conducted. |
