During this meeting a citation for Personal Rights, in conjunction with the complaint investigation control number 17-CC-20231227165820, will be issued. See attached LIC 809D. On May 03, 2024, the Department concluded the complaint investigation mentioned above, and substantiated the allegation that a child’s finger was severely injured while in care. The following issues were discussed: · Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision- Staff neglected C1 as they had C1 nap next to the door threshold allowing ample time for C1 to insert hand/finger in doorway causing severe injury to child’s fingertip. · Personal Rights: While in care at facility, C1 sustained complete avulsion of fingernail with partial fingertip amputation. · Health Related Services: Staff failed to call 911 instead contacted the parent to decide, causing a delay in the required medical treatment for the child.
