Incident investigation·August 5, 2022

On 8/5/22 @ 10:15 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit to discuss the circumstances surrounding a self reported incident that occurred on 6/29/22 wherein a staff member fed a partially consumed, day old bottle to an infant in care. Based on interviews with Director and staff today, staff did not verify the date on the bottle prior to feeding it to the infant. There was a switch of staff part way though the feeding it was assumed the date was verified. Although it was determined that the child's mother repacked a half consumed bottle from the day before and provided it to the facility for the child to use, it is still the facility's staff's responsibility to check the label and name prior to feeding. The incident was reported to the parent and no ill effects occurred. A Type B deficiency will be cited on the accompanying LIC 809D. Appeal rights were discussed and provided. Notice of Site Visit was posted and will remain posted for 30 days.
