It was alleged that the licensee did not properly report an incident, when a subject child sustained an injury during daycare hours, which required medical attention. The LPA conducted observations, reviewed records and conducted interviews with pertinent parties which revealed: On 08/26/2024 a subject child sustained a head injury above the eye which resulted in a bump and bruising. Following the incident, the licensee reported the incident to authorized representatives as required. It was also reported that the authorized representatives sought medical attention for the subject child due to developed swelling and bruising. The subject child returned to daycare shortly following incident.
However, further review of facility records indicate the licensee was unable to provide proof that the 08/26/2024 incident involving the subject child, was not reported to community care licensing as required. By admission, the director stated they completed the Unusual Incident Report and submitted the report to their administrative department for review, prior to formal submission to the department. Therefore, it was determined that the licensee did not submit the report to Community Care Licensing, regarding the unusual incident that occurred on 08/26/2024 by telephone or fax to the department by the next business day, as required through Title 22 regulation, section 101212(d) Reporting Requirements.
Based on LPA’s observations and interviews which were conducted and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation that the licensee did not properly report incident, is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
A deficiency was issued on the LIC 9099D for the Title 22, California Code of Regulations, 101212(d) Reporting Requirements,
No civil Penalties were issued.
An exit interview was conducted to review the report, and a copy of this report was left with Director Leticia Hernandez.
A Notice of Site Visit was provided to Director Leticia Hernandez. The LPA observed the Notice of Site Visit form was posted by staff. |
