During today\342\200\231s inspection, LPA interviewed Director Laura Cheney and Staff #2. Interviews were conducted to gather more details regarding an unusual incident report submitted to the department involving a child\342\200\231s personal rights being violated. Through interviews conducted and documentation reviewed, it was confirmed that while Staff #1 was attending to Child #1, Staff #1 spoke to Child #1 inappropriately resulting in a violation of Child #1's personal rights. Although the facility followed appropriate reporting requirements and took appropriate measures to address the incident, Staff #1's actions violated Child #1\342\200\231s personal rights which posed a potential risk to children in care (see LIC 809-D Type B deficiency). During the tour of the center, it was noted that the Site Supervisor listed is no longer with the facility. The department has been notified and current Site Supervisor Laura Cheney indicated that a Site supervisor packet has been submitted to the department to ensure compliance with title 22. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, a Type B deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 809D. An exit interview was conducted with Director Laura Cheney. A copy of this report and Appeal Rights were provided and discussed with Director Laura Cheney. A Notice of Site Visit Form was posted to parent's board and must remain posted for 30 days.
