25 | On 3/3/23 at 8:35 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Keturah Lane conducted an unannounced Proof of Corrections (POC) visit to facility. Upon arrival, LPA met with Licensee Vivian Carpenter and toured the facility. Also present were assistant Electra Carpenter, Scott Harris and two daycare children. Proper supervision, ratios and capacity were observed. At previous annual inspection dated 1/20/23, LPA Lane cited deficiencies for following items: mandated reporter training not being completed by Licensee and staff, children’s records were incomplete and areas of the home had visible clutter that was covering kitchen counters. On 2/20/23 and 2/22/23, LPA received photos via e-mail of corrections in the home, mandated reporter certificates for Licensee and staff as well as completed children’s records. Although the Licensee had sent pictures showing areas cleaned up, at the visit, LPA observed kitchen and surrounding areas still cluttered.
Licensee stated it rained on Wednesday again and they had to bring items back in and they are still in the process of purging excess items. Licensee also stated they haven’t been able to fix the ceiling damage yet as it hasn’t been dry enough from the excessive rain. LPA requested to update her on the ceiling situation once fixed. LPA Lane stated she would provide proof of corrections for the mandated reporter training completed and children’s records corrected by mail, however LPA will cite for the kitchen area again.
At 8:52 AM, Licensee stated she had to leave for an appointment and Electra Carpenter was staying with the children. Another child arrived at 9:00 AM for a total of three children in care. Pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following Type B deficiency was cited (refer to LIC 809-D). Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility representative Electra Carpenter. Notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
