FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

LPA observed that the infant sleeping area was separated from the indoor activity space. Cribs contained firm mattresses with fitted sheets and did not contain pillows, blankets, toys, bumper pads, or hanging objects. Each child had individual bedding that was not shared and was washed daily or as needed. Mats were labeled, covered with moisture-resistant material, and cleaned daily or as needed and when soiled or wet. Mats were arranged to allow space for movement and staff access. The director stated that children who stood firmly in cribs were moved to cots.

LPA inspected diapering and hygiene areas. The areas were located away from food preparation areas and within reach of a sink. Walls, floors, and dispensers were disinfected after each use. Sinks used for washing infants or rinsing soiled items were sanitized after each use. Other areas inspected were maintained. Containers used for storage of solid waste, including movable bins, had covers that were kept on, were maintained in repair, and were constructed to prevent leaks and entry of rodents

Parents provided bottles and formula. LPA observed bottles and formula stored in the refrigerator. Bottles displayed the child’s name, date, time, and amount. Food for AM snack and lunch was provided by Carmel Unified School District. The facility provided PM snack, water, and whole milk. Water was available during the day through a filtration system and faucets.

Cleaning supplies and chemicals were stored in locked cabinets, separate from food and inaccessible to children. Floors were mopped and carpets were vacuumed daily. Trash was disposed of in covered containers. The indoor temperature measured 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

LPA reviewed five infant files and found the files contained the required documentation, including the Individual Infant Sleeping Plan (LIC 9227), documentation of 15-minute sleep checks, and the Individual Infant Needs and Services Plan. The director stated that the Infant Needs and Services Plans were reviewed and updated quarterly or as often as necessary.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Dreictor and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed Director of the importance of checking for and removing any recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.

LPA Barnes reviewed five staff files. Five files were complete. Two staff members did not have pertussis immunization records. One staff member did not have measles and influenza immunization records. Citation B was issued and documented on LIC809D.

LPA Barnes informed the Director that Mandated Reporter Training was required every two years. LPA Barnes stated that at least one staff member was required to maintain current CPR and First Aid certification at all times. LPA Barnes stated that aides and assistants were required to remain under the supervision of a qualified teacher except during naptime or bathroom transitions.

During the outdoor inspection, LPA Barnes observed that all walkways, ramps, and stairs were free of hazards. The play area provided adequate shade and was organized to minimize the risk of injury. The outdoor space was fenced at least five feet high, was free of debris, and did not contain any accessible hazards or bodies of water.

This facility provides Incidental Medical Services – IMS. LPA reviewed storage of medication and equipment/supplies, and reviewed children’s, personnel, and administrative records.
