25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Tyra Block and Selina Siao, conducted an unannounced case management visit today. The purpose of the visit was to follow-up on an incident that was self-reported to the department on 12/19/19. LPAs met with Ms. Gabi (Gabriela Gutierrez, Site Supervisor) and toured the facility. Present today were 127 children with 11 staff. The following areas are being utilized: Library, Multi-Purpose Room, YMCA Resource Room, and Play Ground.
On 12/18/19, a child in care was given a cookie containing tree nuts which caused an allergic reaction. The cookies were given as a gift to the staff but were used in a cooking activity for the children during clubs and given as a reward after helping to clean-up. Shortly after eating the cookie the child began to show symptoms of an allergic reaction and notified the staff. Staff was able to identify that the cookies contained tree nuts, a known allergen for the child. The prescribed Epi-pen was administered and 9-1-1 called. The child received follow-up medical treatment and returned to care the next day.
LPAs interviewed several staff who were present the day of the incident and observed child's file and stored medication.
