a record review which included documentation related to the allegations. LPA did not observe, nor was information provided via interviews that provided sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation of Food Services- Staff provided food to a child that contained a known food allergen. When interviewing staff, it was disclosed that the infants were not separated enough to prevent one infant from sharing a cracker with peanut butter with the other infant who is allergic to peanut butter and had an allergic reaction after biting the cracker. There was no documented IMS plan for the child. After reviewing the child’s file there was no documented medication listed for the child’s allergy relating to the administering of medication. Also, in the Parent Handbook there was a medication policy in place. Staff did not seek timely medical attention for children. During the interviews it was disclosed that medical attention via telephone when staff could not reach the parents when called, therefore, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated. Meaning although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. No deficiencies cited. An exit interview was conducted, copy of this report was read, appeal rights along with the Notice of Site Visit were provided to director, Darlene Gardner.
