25 | On 11/17/2022 at 10:25am, a Required -1 Year inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Laura Chavez. The inspection is made in conjunction with the licensees request for an increase in capacity to 14. At 11:55am the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee was supervising 2 children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The licensee operates 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The licensee understands that 24 hour care to one child at one time is not allowed. A review of the Guardian Employee Roster dated 12/7/2022 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances. The floor plan and yard sketch submitted by the licensee were reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the three bedrooms, and were made inaccessible by locks, doorknob covers. The children will use the backyard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard.
Items that could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) are stored out of the reach of children. Poisons are locked in the detached shed located in the backyard. The LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The roster of children in care was reviewed and was current. The licensee conducted an emergency drill within the past six months, the last drill was documented on 7/10/2022.
