Introduction

An unscheduled routine inspection was conducted to assess compliance with the Community Care and Assisted Living Act (CCALA), the Child care Licensing Regulations (CCLR) and the relevant Director of Licensing Standards of Practice (DLSOP).
Evidence for this report was based on the Licensing Officer’s observations, review of the facility records and information provided by the facility staff at the time of inspection.

Observed Violations
RECORDS AND REPORTING: 19220 - CCLR s.58(1)(b) - A licensee must keep, for each child requiring extra support, a current care plan showing the following information: (b) the courses of action recommended by health care professionals to address the needs of the child requiring extra support.
Observation: Licensing reviewed a medication consent form for a child. It was discussed that the information provided on the medication consent form did not appropriately guide staff as to what signs and symptioms to look out for prior to administering medication. Staff stated that a diagnosis had not been made in respect of this child's requirements. This extra support requires a care plan to be in place to ensure all staff have clear instructions on the care required to appropriately support this child.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure a care plan is developed for any child requiring extra support.
Date to be Corrected: December 13th 2017
