25 | On April 8, 2021 at 11:35 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Francisco Pedroza conducted a case management inspection. LPA met with Site Supervisor Robin O'Toole and advised her the purpose of the inspection. Due to COVID-19 and the Department of Public Health guidelines, a tele-inspection was completed via Facetime. Site Supervisor provided LPA a tour of the facility. There were nine (9) children in care at the time of the inspection.
On March 12, 2021, C1 was playing on the playground with other children. C1 was playing on a stand alone slide that is about four feet high. The slide has a rock climbing setup to get to the top of the slide. According to the staff that observed the incident, C1 climbed up the slide and sat at the top. C1 was adjusting themselves and accidentally started to slide down. C1 slide down landing on their left forearm injuring themselves. Staff immediately attended to C1 and contacted their parent. It was later determined C1 had sustained a fracture.
Given the facility staff's account of the incident when reporting it to Community Care Licensing and how they addressed the incident, LPA deemed licensee's action was appropriate. Site Supervisor O'Toole advised that the slide is currently closed to the children. She advised that the staff plan to speak with the children and teach then how to appropriately use the slide before it can be used again.
No deficiencies were cited during today's visit.
A closing interview was conducted with Site Supervisor O'Toole. A copy of this report was reviewed and provided to via email.
