Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sheena Chin met with Licensee, Anita Lara, for an unannounced annual inspection. LPA explained the nature of today’s inspection to Licensee. Present during today’s inspection were the licensee, her helper (daughter), and 3 kids in care in the facility. Days and hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 5:30pm. The adults that reside in the home are licensee, her husband and her son. The licensee owns the home.
Observation
LPA observed that required postings were posted. LPA, along with the licensee toured the inside and outside of the home. The facility has a full charged fire extinguisher, 2A10BC. The Carbon monoxide/smoke detector in the hallway is working properly. The off-limit areas inside in the home are all the three bedrooms and garage. All disinfectant, cleaning supplies, and other items that could pose a risk to children were observed to be inaccessible. LPA observed that there are toys for children and each water bottle had a label of a child’s name. LPA observed that the fence between the living room and the kitchen was broken and might fall, posing a potential risk to children in care. The licensee stated that she'll fix the fence and send a picture to LPA. It's unnecessary to have fence between the two areas as children can come to the living room and kitchen. But the licensee, Anita Lara, stated that she preferred to divide the two areas with the fence because she does not want kids running around in the facility.
LPA conducted CARE Tools for this annual inspection, which include Physical Plant, Care and Supervision, Facility Administration, Records, Staffing Ratio and Capacity, Personnel Rights for compliance with all licensing statutes, regulations, and interim licensing Standards, and results were documented on the tool.
