25 | On May 25, 2023 at approximately 10:20 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Josiah Gathing met with Facility Representative Morgan Cotton to follow up on a self-reported incident involving a child injured while in care. During today's investigation, there were 23 children supervised by 4 staff.
The initial report stated that on May 4, 2023 a child was injured falling from a rope swing. According to the report, three staff witnessed the incident and parents were notified immediately. During today's investigation, LPA interviewed staff and made observations. According to staff interview, the child was supervised at the time of the incident, but the injury took place too quickly to be prevented. LPA observed that the ground below the rope swing is padded by loose hay and a foam pad. Staff interview revealed that additional hay and the foam pad were added since the incident.
This report and appeal rights were printed and provided to the Facility Representative. A Notice of Site Visit was printed and must remain posted in the facility for 30 days following today's investigation.
Due to insufficient padding at the time of the incident, a deficiency is cited on the following LIC 809-D page. |
