Interviews conducted and records reviewed revealed four children exhibited symptoms of HFMD beginning on or about 07/16/2025. Interviews conducted disclosed handwashing is implemented and items used by children are cleaned by staff on a daily basis to prevent the spread of germs. It was also disclosed staff check children for any symptoms of illness and separate those exhibiting symptoms from others. Information obtained indicated parents and authorized representatives are immediately notified to pick up their child and advised to seek a medical evaluation to obtain a medical clearance prior to returning to the facility. Records reviewed revealed notification letters are posted once a positive case is confirmed and outbreaks are reported to all appropriate agencies. It is determined there was not sufficient information evident to support the allegation that staff are not preventing the spread of HFMD at the facility.
Based on observations made at the facility, information obtained during interviews, and records reviewed, it is determined that the allegation could not be substantiated or dismissed. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with the director, Jessica Salvador-Rivera. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. |
