25 | On 11/17/2021 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Giese and Zeigler conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to follow up on an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) that was submitted to the Regional Office on 10/29/21. LPAs met with Facility Director Alisa Holtegarrd to discuss the purpose of the visit. LPA took census, reviewed records, toured the facility and conducted interviews with staff.
UIR stated: On Monday 10/25/2021 staff noticed marks below the neckline of Child #1’s shirt and weren't sure if they were bruises or something else. Staff documented their observations and spoke to Child #1’s parent/guardian at pickup that same day. The following day, Tuesday 10/26/2021 a police officer came to the facility to inquire about the markings on Child #1’s neck. The officer informed Director and staff they had observed a photo of Child #1’s neck and would be reaching out to Child Protective Services (CPS). Child #1 did not attend the facility on 10/26/2021 or 10/27/2021.
Late evening on 10/27/2021 an individual came to the facility and identified themselves as the parent/guardian of Child #1. The individual stated the facility had injured Child #1 and requested to speak to the Director. The Assistant Director of the facility spoke to the individual regarding the facility’s observations and the discussion with the officer. The individual returned to their car and refused to leave the center. After a length of time the individual left. Director has made multiple attempts to contact the parent/guardians of Child #1 since this incident was documented, but has been unsuccessful. Child #1 has not returned to the center since last attending 10/25/2021. |
