On 12/17/2024 at 2:30 pm an unannounced Case Management – Deficiencies inspection was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Carolyn Tuba who was there to conduct a separate inspection visit and during the course of the investigation a separate deficiency was discovered on 11/7/2024. A Covid risk assessment was conducted. LPA met with Licensee, Kim Bailey. LPA took a census of 8 children with 2 adults. LPA consulted with the Licensee that anytime a child sustains an injury at the family child care home and the child requires medical attention then it should be reported to the Department within 24 hours of the incident during our normal business hours. LPA consulted with the Licensee that medical attention could be urgent care, emergency room or by their physician or dental office. LPA also advised that if there is ever a question of any incident that is unusual, she can call the main number and ask for the On Duty Analyst of the day. Should the reporting be done by phone within the first 24 hours then an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) LIC 624B needs to be submitted within 7 days of the incident via email, (incidentreports@dss.ca.gov) fax or regular mail. LPA provided a copy of the UIR to the Licensee for her records. LPA also discovered that during the investigation conducted on 11/7/2024 the report should have been marked as Needs Further Investigation, however it was marked as Unfounded. LPA has amended the report and corrected it. The Licensee was asked to sign, and a new copy was printed for their record. The following deficiency listed on the attached LIC 809 (deficiency page) are being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22.
