25 | On 4/25/23 at 11:45am, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Loretta Dyson and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lisa Dyer arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced case management inspection to follow up on results received regarding lead exceedance. LPM and LPA met with Erica Harrell. There were 63 children and 11 additional staff also present.
The facility completed the required lead testing of water outlets used to prepare food, or provide drinking water, for children and two outlets were found to be in exceedance of the Action Level of 5 ppb. The facility took immediate action and made the two outlets inaccessible to children while they were being repaired. The facility completed and submitted all required documents to Licensing, notified all families of the test results with a letter and posted the test results in the facility. LPM and LPA inspected the two outlets and verified that they have been made inaccessible, and signs have been placed to advise not to use the outlets.
The two outlets have now been repaired and the facility is completing the flushing process, and will have the outlets retested sometime in May 2023. The facility understands that they are unable to use the two outlets until they receive the test results, and the Action Level is 5 ppb or below.
See LIC 809D for a deficiency being cited today. The deficiency is being cleared since the facility has completed the plan of correction. No other deficiencies are being cited today. An exit interview was conducted with Erica Harrell, and a copy of this report, Notice of Site Visit, and appeal rights were emailed to the facility. The facility was reminded to have the Notice of Site Visit posted for 30 days.
