On 5/23/24 @ 9:01am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Laird conducted an unannounced case management inspection in response to an incident which was self-reported in a timely manner by Leah Avakian, director. The incident occurred on 5/13/24 @ approximately 2:40pm. Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) was notified within 24 hours and unusual incident report was sent in writing within the 7 days as required.

It was reported that a child (C1) landed on their left arm causing a broken elbow.

At 9:11am LPA Laird conducted an interview at the facility with director Leah Avakian. Leah stated staff reported C1 was running in the classroom. Staff asked C1 to sit down. C1 went to sit down and placed arms behind them to "prop" themselves up. C1 immediately started crying and holding their arm. Leah stated the staff that observed the incident (S1, S2) both stated it looked like C1 had really hurt their elbow because it bent in an odd direction. Parents were contacted and C1 was picked up. Leah stated they received notification on 5/15/24 that C1 had sustained a broken elbow.

On 5/23/24 @ 9:16am LPA Laird conducted two staff interviews (S1, S2). Both staff interviewed stated C1 sat down placing their arms behind them when their arm and wrist bent in an awkward way. S1 stated they assessed C1's arm at the time and it was bending. Both staff interviewed stated they applied medical aid and contacted parents. Staff stated the next day C1 was at school but appeared to be favoring their arm. Staff noticed swelling and contacted C1's parent. It was later determined C1 had sustained a fracture.
