Based on record review, documentation review, and interview, the provider failed to ensure that the home's activities, services, and facilities are conducive to the welfare of children in care. Evidence: 1. The record for child #1, date of enrollment 08/21/23, stated that the child has several food allergies and intolerances. 2. Written correspondence revealed that child #1 was taken to the doctor and was advised to avoid certain foods due to an intolerance. 3. Documentation review and interviews revealed that child #1 was offered foods and allowed to eat foods that were listed in the child's record as a food allergy or intolerance, as well a direct written request from the parent to avoid those foods, which caused the child to have an upset stomach, vomiting, and gastrointestinal upset.
Plan of Correction:
I will no longer except the verbal request of a parent to change their child's food intolerances. I will require a written care plan from the doctor before a child begins care.
Standard #:
8VAC20-800-60-B
Description:
Based on record review, the provider failed to ensure that the child's record contains information on allergies and intolerance to food, medication, or any other substances, and actions to take in an emergency situation. Evidence: The record for child #1, date of enrollment 8/21/23, stated that child #1 has allergies and intolerances to food. The record did not state the actions to take in an emergency situation.
Plan of Correction:
Although allergies and intolerances are listed on the registration form, I will ensure there is a written care plan for each child with allergies.
