Incident investigation·September 5, 2025

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Kelly Gerth conducted a Case Management visit to follow up on Unusual Incident Report (UIR) that was submitted by the facility and received by Licensing on August 25, 2025. LPA met with Director Monique Gapuz to discuss the incident reported. The unusual incident report stated that on 08/15/2025, a child in care required emergency medical attention and was transported to a medical facility. During the visit, LPA Gerth interviewed staff and obtained copies of pertinent documents relating to the incident. LPA found that during the incident on 08/15/2025, staff reported that upon finding the child in distress, classroom staff first contacted on site supervisors who then assessed the child and contacted non-emergency services. At that time, non-emergency services contacted 911 for immediate medical attention and paramedics were dispatched. The nature of the child’s illness was such that there should have been no delay in getting medical treatment for the child and although the CCC did take action, it was not immediate. Therefore, LPA Gerth determined that the CCC is in violation of Title 22 regulation and will be cited for CCR 101226(c). In addition, LPA Gerth found based on the information obtained during the visit, that required records on file for the child were not current and therefore the CCC is being cited a deficiency for CCR 101221(a). See 809 D An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report, exit interview and notice of site visit was provided to Director Monique Gapuz. The Facility Representative was reminded that the notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days.
