On July 11, 2022, at 10:20 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Diana Sanchez made an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver the complaint investigation findings for the above allegations. LPA met with provider Raquel Macias and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. Current census is 4.

This agency has investigated the above listed allegations. Investigation was conducted by an investigator from the Department’s Investigations Branch and LPA. During the course of the investigation, licensee, facility staff, parents and children were interviewed. Facility records, medical records, child welfare services report and police reports were reviewed.

It was alleged that on 03/22/22, a teenage daycare child (C1) overdosed on narcotics while in care and therefore, the day care home does not provide a safe environment for daycare children. It was determined, that on the evening of 03/22/22, C1 was given permission to spend the night at the facility, for the first time ever. C1 transitioned from a daycare child to a friend of the licensee’s spouse’s minor child.

Late at night, when all adults were asleep, C1 had narcotics delivered to the house by an unknown male, which resulted in C1’s overdose. At approximately 5:30 a.m., on 03/23/22, C1 was found in the bathroom and subsequently transported to the hospital. The incident did not occur during operating hours and there were no daycare children present at the time of the incident. The narcotics were not used in the general daycare area and the facility was cleaned prior to the arrival of daycare children.

There is no evidence to corroborate or support the allegation that a lack of supervision by facility staff contributed to C1’s overdose, nor that the licensee provides an unsafe environment for daycare children. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are Unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with provider Raquel Macias. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058 01/16), were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. LPA observed that the notice of site visit was posted during the inspection. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
