Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 10/10/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Anita Tristan conducted a complaint inspection at the facility for the purpose of delivering the finding to the above listed allegation. LPA met with Director, Carol Thomas, toured the facility and took a census. During the course of the investigation, LPA Tristan collected facility records, and conducted interviews with the reporting party, staff, and parents. Interviews reflect an infant was handled inappropriately by staff several times. On more than one occasion staff lifted an infant out of chair by pulling their arm. Per interviews this act was without malicious intent. Based upon the information gathered through interviews the allegation indicates that staff handled an infant in a rough manner. This agency determined that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, deficiency will be cited (see 9099-D). Exit interview conducted with the Director, Carol Thomas.

    PERSONAL RIGHTS

    101223 Personal Rights.(a) The licensee shall ensure that each child is accorded the following personal rights: (3) To be free from corporal or unusual punishment, infliction of pain, humiliation, intimidation, ridicule, coercion, threat, mental abuse or other actions of a punitive nature including but not limited to: interference with functions of daily living including eating, sleeping or toileting; or withholding of shelter, clothing, medication or aids to physical functioning. This requirement was not met as evidenced by interviews; staff pulled infant by arm from chair several times. Nursemaid’s elbow is a common condition in children younger than 4 years of age and can happen if you tug or pull on an infant’s lower arm or hand. This poses a potential risk to the Health, Safety, or Personal Rights of children in care.
