Type B

Section Cited

CCR

102417(g)(5)(A)

Operation of A Family Child Care Home

(g) The home shall be free from defects or conditions which might endanger a child. Safety precautions shall include but not limited to: (5) All licensees shall ensure the inaccessibility of pools (in-ground and above-ground), fixed-in-place wading pools, hot tubs, spas, fish ponds and similar bodies of water through a pool cover or by surrounding the pool with a fence. (A)Fences shall be at least five feet high and shall be constructed so that the fence does not obscure the pool from view. The bottom and sides of the fence shall comply with Division 1, Appendix Chapter 4 of the 1994 Uniform Building Code. In addition to meeting all of the aforementioned requirements for fences, gates shall swing away from the pool, self-close and have a self-latching device located no more than six inches from the top of the gate. Pool covers shall be strong enough to completely support the weight of an adult and shall be placed on the pool and locked while the pool is not in use. This requirement is not met as evidenced by:
	Deficient Practice Statement
1 2 3 4	Based on observation, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above. Today, LPA observed that upon arrival the pool gate had a lock on it. Once LPA tested the self-latching mechanism, it was observed not to self-ltach consistently from a distance of about 5-6 inches. There were no day care children in care today. This poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
	POC Due Date: 04/18/2023
	Plan of Correction
1 2 3 4	Today, the pool gate was repaired by spraying WD-40 and tightening the spring mechanism. After testing again, it was observed to self-latch from all distances and according to the regulation requirement. Licensee completed a written statement today indicating she would ensure the gate was self-latching by inspecting at least once monthly. Deficiency cleared today.

Failure to correct the cited deficiency(ies), on or before the Plan of Correction (POC) due date, may result in a civil penalty assessment.
