32 | Upon review of the Unusual Incident Report submitted by the facility Director, LPA and LPM determined that the facility did not submit an Unusual Incident Report within the required timeframe. LPA and LPM discovered that the facility submitted an Unusual Incident Report to the Department on 09/30/24 to report an incident that occurred on 08/16/24 where the toilets in the children’s restrooms had flooded. Departmental records show that the facility called the Department on 09/30/24 to report the same incident that occurred on 08/16/24. LPA and LPM determined that reporting requirements were not met as the facility did not report the incident within the Department’s next working day by phone requirement or within seven days in writing requirement. A citation has been issued (See attached LIC 809-D).
Upon staff record review, LPA and LPM determined that although the facility has reported Alicia Howard as Facility Director as of March 2024, Ms. Howard does not meet education requirements to be a facility director. A review of Ms. Howard’s records showed that they have not completed required three units in each of the following categories: Administration, or Staff Relations, Child, Family and Community, and Care of Infants. Ms.Howard is currently enrolled in courses for Infant Development and Administration, and is expected to complete the courses in December 2024.
During the review of staff records, it was determined that Staff 1 (S1) met requirements to be a Facility Director. S1 will submit a Director Packet Application to the Department within 10 days.
Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is cited (See attached form). Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Acting Director Alicia Howard. Acting Director was provided appeal rights. This report shall be made available to the public upon request.
