Incident investigation·May 24, 2023

On May 24, 2023 at 12:32pm Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Indira Loza arrived unannounced and met with Director Gloria Cross-Brooks. There were 19 infants present during today's visit and seven fingerprint cleared staff. LPA toured the facility for a Health and Safety check. At 12:35pm LPA Loza observed a 9 month old infant sleeping on a rocker with a blanket. LPA informed the Director that infants are not allowed to sleep in rockers due to a high risk of their breathing being obstructed by the upright position and the blanket on the sleeping infant due to an increased risk of suffocation. This violates California Code of Regulations(CCR) 101223(a)(2). LPA also informed the Director that rockers are not allowed on the premises, which violates Health and Safety Code(HSC) 1596.846(b) and (c). See 809-D for one Type A deficiency and one Type B deficiency. Facility shall post a copy of the report in a location where all parents can easily view it.
