Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Inconsistent statements were made regarding whether the staff left a child alone or with an aide to walk through the hallway. All interviews confirmed this staff no longer works at the facility. Based on the evidence obtained, LPAs determined that the allegations are unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove it. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was given to the Director. Notice of Site was provided which must remain posted for 30 days. One Type A deficiency was cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Upon receipt of a Type A citation, licensee shall post and provide copies of the LIC 9099 D for parents/guardians of children in care and for parents/guardians of newly enrolled children for the next 12 months. Licensee must also keep the signed LIC 9224, acknowledging receipt of LIC 9099 D in each child's file.
