Upon entry, LPA met with Office Administrator, Brandi Christman and explained purpose of the visit. Director was not present during visit. During this visit LPA interviewed staff and children and reviewed relevant documents. Based on information from interviews and documents that was brought to light for a different purpose, it was determined on at least 3 separate occasions, staff S1 violated children\342\200\231s personal rights by grabbing their arms and swinging them in another direction, yanking them, and exhibiting other rough behaviors toward children as a means of discipline and/or redirection. See LIC 809D for deficiency cited. LPA Ma informed facility representative Brandi Christman that this report dated 11/8/24 documents 1 Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there was an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.
