Off-limits areas were inaccessible to clients in care by means of child gates and locks.

The licensee removed the loose articles while the LPA was still present.
The facility was equipped with working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, working telephone service, and at least one fire extinguisher that meets statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. The licensee agrees to maintain telephone service in the home when clients are in care. Hours of operation are 6AM to 6PM Monday through Friday. The licensee is aware that each family daycare shall conduct fire drills and disaster drills at least once every six months. A record review shows that the last drill was documented on 5/17/2023 (See 809D). The fireplace is covered with a metal screen.
The licensee stated that there are no firearms and/or other dangerous weapons in the facility; none were observed during the inspection. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medicines, and other items that could pose a danger if readily available were inaccessible to clients in care. No poisons or other items that could pose a danger to clients were observed during the inspection. Clients nap on cots and infants in play yards. According to the licensee, beddings are stored individually and washed weekly. The facility provides age-appropriate toys, play equipment, and materials for the clients served. |
