25 | On this date 7/14/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ruby Ocegueda, conducted an unannounced case management – unusual incident inspection. LPA met with licensee Tomasa Perez, toured the facility indoors and outdoors and took a census. The purpose of today's inspection was to follow-up on an unusual incident that was reported to Community Care Licensing (CCL) on 6/20/2023. The Incident reported was regarding child #1 who sustained a fracture to his/her left clavicle area.
During today's inspection, LPA interviewed staff regarding the unusual incident, reviewed personnel files, reviewed children’s file and inspected facility and outside play equipment. Per licensee on 6/20/2023, child appeared quieter than usual but was not observed crying or complaining of pain upon arrival. Child #1 is a preschool child who is 3 years old. Towards the end of the day (approximately 1:00 PM) licensee inquired with older sibling as to child #1 being quieter. Child #2 then asked child #1 what was wrong and child then stated that something hurt and that he/she fell outside. Licensee was caring for child alone while outside on this day. Licensee did not observe child fall from any equipment and child did not cry out in any distress while playing at the facility that day. Licensee stated while she and child #1 were outside, she was picking fruit and cleaning toys. Today, it could not be confirmed if child #1fell at the facility or if the injury happened elsewhere because it was not observed by anyone else.
Today, LPA Ocegueda observed that the play equipment was intact and in good working condition with no broken or sharp edges. The plastic toddler size play structure that child was playing on that day has a platform approximately 2 ft in height and the structure sits over grass. Licensee responded to the child by placing a cold pack where child stated it hurt and called parents immediately. Licensee also encouraged and assisted parents in seeking medical attention for the child. Due to reasons unrelated to this possible incident, the child has not returned to care.
