25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melissa Stewart made an unannounced visit for the purpose of conducting a Case Management inspection. LPA met with Director Maria Suarez and discussed the nature and purpose of the visit.
On 11/21/19 an incident occurred at the facility with a child in care which called for medical attention.
At 9:15 am, a child (C1) was sitting on a couch and another child (C2) was sitting in front of C1 on the floor. Child 2 grabbed Child 1's left wrist and pulled C1's left arm behind C1's head. Staff (S1) observed the incident, picked up C1. S1 reported that C1 did not cry until after S1 put C1 back down onto the floor. S2 applied ice to C1's left wrist. C1's mother was immediately contacted. The child's mother took child to primary doctor who recommended child be taken to ER for xrays. Child was diagnosed with a dislocated elbow which was popped back into place. The child left the hospital with no restrictions and returned to the facility the next day.
Director met with C2's mother to create a behavioral plan with child's family and staff in order to support C2 in developing skills to prevent similar interactions from happening in the future.
Director reported that there were seven children supervised by three staff at time of incident. Given the incident was observed by staff who took appropriate action in rendering first-aid and contacting the parents of the children involved, no deficiencies are being issued as a result of this incident.
