13 | Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, an unannounced tele-visit was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst Jennifer Velasco (LPA), who met with Director Kathleen Kade (D1). It was alleged the facility has pests; specifically, that staff failed to prevent the presence of a bat on the playground. On 10/21/2020, LPA interviewed two adults and one child. During the 10/22/2020 announced initial complaint investigation tele-visit, LPA interviewed one adult and requested pertinent facility documents. Upon receipt of said documents, LPA conducted document review. LPA interviewed two adults on 03/01/2021. Documentation and witness statements corroborate the presence of a bat on the playground on at least one occasion, documentation and witness statements fail to corroborate staff's culpability for the presence of the bat on the playground. The preponderance of evidence standard has not been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be unsubstantiated. This report was reviewed and discussed with D1. D1’s original signature was not recorded on this report; however, D1 was provided with a copy of the LIC9099 Complaint Investigation Report (CIR) and Appeal Rights in an email dated 03/12/2021 and confirmation of read receipt of the CIR is on file. No deficiencies were cited during this inspection. |
