Facility-requested visit·March 24, 2022

Licensing Program Analyst, Emilia Grisak conducted a case management facility inspection on 3/24/22 at 1:55pm. This inspection was in response to an application for increased capacity that was received by the Department on 2/7/2022. The licensee has requested a capacity increase to 14 children. The LPA toured the facility's indoor and outdoor areas. The off-limits areas of the home are the garage, all bedrooms and a linen closet which has been made inaccessible using door knob covers. The children use the back yard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced. There is a hot tub on the back deck that is covered and locked as required. The LPA reviewed the ratio's for a large license and the licensee acknowledged she understood the ratio requirements. The LPA also reviewed the Safe Sleep requirements with provider. Provider has a full time assistant and has required forms for assistant. Licensee's CPR/First Aid was completed and expires on 3/2022. Licensee and assistant are both scheduled to complete CPR/First Aid on 3/27/22. Based on the space/accommodations available at this facility and the fire marshal granting their approval on 3/22/22 for the 14 children, the capacity increase request is granted. LPA will process this capacity increase and mail an updated license to reflect this capacity change to 14 children. An exit interview was conducted with licensee. Notice of Site Visit was given to licensee to post for 30 days.
