Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jesse Gardner arrived unannounced to conduct a case management welfare check at the facility. Upon arrival, LPA met with Staff One (S1) Assistant Diana Sierra who indicated there were 3 children in care. Staff Two (S2) Mariah Mercado was also inside providing care and supervision. Licensee Judy Sadler was not present. S1 indicated that Licensee Judy Sadler was out of town and would not be back until 05/09/2025. LPA conducted a tour of the facility and found the following. During the inspection, LPA inspected the pool area and found the fencing at the bottom of the wrought iron was greater than 2 inches in most areas. LPA noted the latch to the gate leading into the pool is self-latching, and the gate swings away from the pool; however, the latch was positioned lower than 60 inches. LPA also did not observe a pool alarm, 12 foot pole with body hook, nor a U.S. Coast Guard approved life ring in the pool area. Interview with S1 stated that none of those items were available to inspect. Also, LPA noted several chairs that were against the wrought iron fence leading into the pool that could potentially provide a child access into the pool. Finally, there was no pool log being maintained. Further, LPA noted a playground set that was coming apart in a play area, as well as a thorned bush that is easily accessible to children in care. LPA spoke with Licensee Judy Sadler via telephone and advised the facility cannot operate until Licensee Judy Sadler returns on 05/09/2025. An exit interview was conducted where a copy of this report along with copies of the (5)LIC809D, LIC811 (confidential names list), and Appeal Rights were provided.
