Interview with facility Director stated the facility staff alternate who washes the sheets and it is noted on the calendar in the Director’s office. Other confidential interviews denied observing the sheets being washed, witnessing the sheets placed back into the child’s cubby after nap time. Interview with three staff disclosed the children’s sheets are washed at the end of each business day. On December 16, 2022, this agency received allegation that facility is in disrepair. Confidential interviews disclosed that the facility had chipped paint on the baseboards, broken fencing on the playground and a sink in the toddler room that was broken and continued to be clogged while in use. On 12/21/22; LPA Flores observed there to be a broken sink in the toddler room the children had been utilizing and full of water. Interview with facility Director, disclosed that a work order has been placed and maintenance has come and cleared the sink on at least two other occasions. Interview with three out of six staff disclosed that the sink is blocked off for the children not to use when the sink is clogged. Records received disclosed that a maintenance order has been placed on 7/06/22 and 9/16/22. Facility Director has placed an additional work order to have the sink fixed. Based on interviews and record review the allegations are unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegations may have happened or is valid there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations that facility staff are not sanitizing toys, facility staff are not laundering linens and facility is in disrepair are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and copy of this report, appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit were provided to licensee. Licensee was reminded that the Notice of Site Visit must be posted in the facility in a visible area for 30 days.
