Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

A review of records showed that C1 was supposed to have a behavior plan that included one-on-one support and specific interventions, such as adult modeling and prompts. However, all staff confirmed that C1 did not have a one-on-one aide present during the incident, and no staff were directly supervising C1 at that moment. Based on the interviews and records reviewed, it was determined that the allegation is substantiated. The facility failed to provide proper care and supervision as required by Title 22, Section 101229(a), which poses a potential risk to children in care. A citation was issued, and a copy of the report, including appeal rights, was given to Director Leanne Sparks. A Notice of Site Visit was also provided and must be posted publicly for 30 days.
