Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Regarding the allegation: Facility did not report injuries. RP alleged that C1 sustained bruises and scratches in early 2025 and facility did not report incidents. LPA interviewed S1 to S5 of which S1 and S4 indicated that C1 has sustained bruises and scratches in the past. S4 corroborated that incidents are not always written up. LPA also verified that C2 sustained a scratch on the hand. LPA requested copies of incidents reports/ouch reports for C1 and C2 and facility was not able to provide reports. Interview with RP and P1 indicated that their child sustained injury but facility did not report the incident to them. Review of facility history did not indicate incidents were reported to the department. Director was reminded to ensure that parents/authorized representative and the department are notified of child injuries. Based on LPA’s record review, observations and interviews conducted, the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1, Article 6, 101216(a) and 101212(d)(1)(C) are being cited on the attached LIC9099D Exit interview conducted with Director Martha Macias and copy of this report and appeal rights provided. A Notice of Site Visit was also provided and must be posted for 30 days. page 2 of 2
