complaint·October 7, 2022

Though the evidence obtained in the investigation indicates the child was injured while in care, there is not a preponderance of evidence that the injury resulted from Licensee's negligence or mis-handling of the child, thus the allegation of Child was Injured in Care is deemed Unsubstantiated. LPA discussed with Licensee the use of alternate means of handling children to avoid this injury in the future, such as picking children up by placing hands gently around the ribs, under the armpits, and using verbal cues to get children's attention. No deficiencies cited. Exit interview was conducted and copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to Licensee. Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
