Violations
Text reproduced verbatim · California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing DivisionNearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing. Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.
Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.
“Based upon observation, interview, and records the facility did not provide a safe environment for children in care as bitting incidents continued to occur which posed an immediate health, safety, and personal rights risk to children in care.”
“Based upon observation, interview, and records the facility did not report all biting incidents to C1's parent which posed a potential health, safety, and personal rights risk to persons in care.”
“Based on interviews and record review, Parent #1 stated she did not receive the substantiated complaint and LPA did not observe a signed LIC9224 in child's file. This poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care.”
“Based on interviews conducted S4 to S7 have at one time yelled at one another in the presence of children. Per S4-S7 the yelling has been observed/done by the above staff. This poses a potential health and safety risk for children in care.”
“Based on interviews and video footage review, C1 was handled in a rough manner by S1 who first yelled at C1 three times, a toy was pulled away from C1 by S1 and C1 was grabbed and sat on a chair by S1. This poses an immediate health and safety risk for children in care.”
“Based record review and director disclosure, the incident was not reported to the department. This poses a potential and health and safety risk to children in care.”
