25 | On 1/21/2025 at 9:00AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Christine Jung, conducted an unannounced case management-deficiency inspection to follow up on an incident that was self-reported to the Department. Upon arrival, LPA met with Director, Kathern De La Torre. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was led on a tour of the facility. There were 13 children and 4 staff members present.
The facility submitted an unusual incident report (UIR) to the Department on 1/15/2025 reporting an incident surrounding Child 1 (C1). The facility reported that on 1/14/2025, C1 was fed another child’s bottle.
Interviews were conducted with three (3) staff members. Based on interviews, staff confirmed that Staff 1 (S1) and Staff 2 (S2) fed C1 the wrong bottle. S1 picked up Child 2’s (C2) bottle and fed C1 without the checking the name label on the bottle. When S2 came into the room, S1 handed C1 to S2, as well as the bottle that C1 was drinking. S2 continued feeding C1 the same bottle. When S1 picked up a second bottle to feed C2, S1 looked at the bottle label and realized that the bottles for C1 and C2 had been mixed up.
The Facility staff reported the incident to the Department in a timely manner. Based on the information obtained and interviews conducted, one Type B citation for Infant Care Food Service is being cited on LIC809D.
Exit interview conducted with Director Kathern De La Torre.
