25 | On 10/4/2022 at 2:45 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joelle Redding conducted an unannounced case management site inspection to evaluate the licensed facility's access to the swimming pool on site.
LPA met with Director Talana Lugo and toured the facility. The program has four rooms. Room 1 is the first along the main corridor past the check in desk. The double doors are code locked from the outside. Once inside, there is a small foyer with a safety gate separating the main room. The remaining 3 rooms are further down the hallway with one main foyer for all three. The entry room is Room 4. Rooms 2 and 3 open off Room 4. The double door to the foyer is also coded and there is a safety gate separating the main room from the exit doors as well. Neither of the double doors are alarmed. There is no other egress to the pool area from these rooms.
The pool is located across the hallway. It can be accessed via the two locker rooms and the main pool entrance/corridor. Off the main entrance/corridor, there is an aquatics desk that you pass by before going through a doorway to the pool area. There is always a lifeguard on staff, however, as the pool itself is not fenced or covered, per regulation, and there is indirect access which is a potential risk to the health and safety of children in care.
See LIC 809D for a Type B deficiency.
