On 09/01/2023, LPA made an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of initiating this complaint investigation. At the time of this visit LPA toured the facility, reviewed documents, and conducted interviews with Licensee and Facility Staff. LPA recorded conflicting statements from Licensee and staff related to the allegations of this complaint. It was disclosed children are not placed in car seats prior to their authorized representative’s arrival. The children are either in the on limits living room area of the home, or the day care activity room located in the attached garage of the home.

Licensee and staff stated children that require diapering are checked regularly and changed accordingly to meet their needs and deny that children have been left in soiled diapers for an extended period of time. The facility has a changing table located in the garage playroom with adequate supply of diapers and wipes. If redness or rash is observed while a child is in care the child’s authorized representative will be informed, creams/ointments will be applied per child’s authorized representative’s request.

Regarding Licensee operating over capacity or terms of license, Licensee stated they understand the terms of their license and have not exceeded the number of infants or children allowed without a qualified assistant present.

There was conflicting information received during the investigation from what was alleged. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging Licensee left infant in a car seat for an extended period of time, Licensee did not meet an infant’s diapering needs, resulting in a diaper rash, Licensee is operating over capacity. Although the allegation may have happened, or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS GIVEN. LICENSEE WAS INSTRUCTED TO POSTED IT IN A PROMINENT LOCATION AT THE FACILITY. THE LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT MUST REMAIN POSTED FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS.

An exit interview was conducted, A copy of this report and appeal rights were given to the Licensee, Elizabeth Sadovnic on 10/11/2023.
