Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jesse Gardner conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow-up on an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) submitted to Community Care Licensing CCL on December 21, 2023. LPA met with Rachel Smith (Director) and toured the facility. LPA interviewed the director and three staff members during this inspection. On December 21, 2023, CCL received information via UIR that a child (C1) had their finger caught in a door that later required stitches. Interviews with staff and record review revealed that; although, there was sufficient staffing in the room at the time of incident, there was a lack of supervision which resulted in C1 sustaining an injury that required immediate medical treatment. The incident was reported to CCL and documentation observed in the injured child’s file and parents were notified in a timely manner. Based on information gathered, the CCC was given a Type A deficiency. An exit interview was held with Director Rachel Smith. A copy of this report was issued, along with copies of the LIC809D, Appeal Rights, LIC811 (confidential names list) along with a Notice of Site visit. This report shall be public record for three years.
