It was determined that any condition that results in bites to children poses a potential health risk. Notification to parents would have allowed them to monitor their child for symptoms, assess for possible allergic reactions, seek medical evaluation if needed, and take home precautions to prevent further spread of pests. The facility did not meet regulatory requirements to appropriately inform parents of conditions affecting children’s health and safety. Based on observations, records reviewed and interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is SUBSTANTIATED.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, the deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview conducted with Senior Director Gladys Garcia-Jara.

A copy of this report and Appeal Rights were provided. This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit is provided and required to be posted for 30 day
