25 | On 02/26/25, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Denisia Jimenez conducted an unannounced case management inspection to discuss an incident report that was submitted to Community Care Licensing regarding an incident that occurred at the facility on 01/09/25. LPA met with Licensee, Sonya Acheson. LPA toured the facility and took a census.
Licensee stated on the date of the incident, Licensee was in the kitchen washing dishes and 3 children were in the dining room area. Licensee #2 had a doctor’s appointment and accidentally left her purse in the dining room on top of a TV tray. Licensee stated the purse had fallen onto the ground and licensee #2 medication pills spilled onto the floor. Licensee stated child #1 was standing right where the medication spilled. Licensee stated she immediately checked child #1 to make sure child #1 had not ingested a pill and re-directed the other 2 children to the play room while she cleaned and observed child #1. Licensee stated she contacted parent #1 and had parent come to the facility to explain the incident. Parent #1 observed the child and felt child #1 was fine. Licensee #2 arrived at the facility and counted her medication pills to make sure none were missing. Child is still attending day care.
