On 10/11/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) conducted a case management inspection for the purpose of addressing requirements for assistants, ratio, supervision requirements and Covid-19 guidance. LPA Ocegueda met with licensee Clementina Diaz, toured the home and a census was taken. LPA Ocegueda provided licensee with a list of necessary documents that each of her staff should have including First/Aid CPR first aid training if any assistant was to be ever left alone with the children at home or outside of the facility. Licensee can use her child to assist so long as he/she is above the age of 14 years old but should never be left alone with the children. LPA reviewed the requirement for licensee to be present at the facility and indicated to her that “absences should not exceed 20 percent of the hours that the facility is providing care per day”. LPA provided licensee a copy of ratio information to assist her in determine the ages and number of children she can have in care. Licensee understands that she should follow ratio and capacity and supervision requirements at all times. LPA also discussed Covid-19 guidance. On 7/28/2021, Licensee did not wear a mask while children were in care.
