It was alleged that facility staff are placing infant children on boppy pillows on the floor and putting them to sleep while sitting propped up. In addition, it was alleged that infant children are sleeping inside a pillow ring that is made for sitting only. Interviews revealed that infant children are frequently placed in boppy pillows and left to sleep in.

Based on LPAs interviews conducted, an unsafe sleep environment did occur which is a violation of personal rights. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 12) are cited on the attached LIC9099D.

Appeal rights issued and discussed with Facility Director, Anita Jones-Sheehi, and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights.

An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to the Facility Director, Anita Jones-Sheehi.

THIS REPORT MUST BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR THREE YEARS.
