“Upon today's follow-up inspection, the toilet did not flush for the Licensing Specialist. When the Provider was asked to demonstrate that the toilet is in working order, she turned on the water and then attempted to flush the toilet. The water in the toilet bowl almost overflowed. The water is also blue with chemicals, which would be harmful if it is accidentally ingested by a child. The Provider attempted to get the water to go down by pumping the toilet bowl brush down the toilet. This was to no avail. This LS then spoke to the Provider's son who installed the new toilet and previously sent a video of it working properly. He states that due to the excessive rain and snow that has occurred lately, the leach fields are saturated. Additionally, this toilet is on the same level as the drain fields, so it isn't draining. The bathrooms upstairs will drain due to the height difference. The Provider states that she will call tomorrow to have the holding tank pumped out and let this LS know so that another follow-up inspection may be made to ensure the toilet is working properly. When the LS is able to view the toilet working properly, the non-compliance will then be corrected.”

“When discussing the barrier to the stairs not being present, the Provider revealed that she sometimes goes upstairs without the children to answer the door. When told she has to take the children with her, she reported that they are "good" and "will stay". The Provider must be near enough to the children to render immediate assistance. Please write a letter of correction stating how you will become in compliance with this regulation in the future.”

“Provider has a two year old child and a three year old child sleeping in pack-n-plays. She reports that they will not sleep in or on anything else despite having one cot and sleeping bags available. Per regulation, a child 12 months old and younger than 5 years old shall be furnished with a bed, cot, mat or sleeping bag unless the parent requests otherwise. The Provider reports that the parents want them to sleep in the pack-n-plays. However, there is no written note by either parent. Please have the children sleep on a cot or sleeping bag or have each parent write a note requesting that their child remain in the pack-n-play and submit evidence of the resolution to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“There is no barrier at the bottom of the stairs so that the children cannot go upstairs. Please utilize the baby gate that you already have and place it at the bottom of the stairs for the safety of the children. Send a picture of the barrier in place at the bottom of the stairs to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“During the inspection, the toilet was observed to be without water in the bowl or in the tank, therefore, rendering it inoperable. The Provider states that a child put a toy down the toilet so they had to cut off the water. She reports that her son will fix it. The Provider further reports that the two children she currently has in care are still potty training. Nevertheless, the home must have a toilet in good working order. Provide proof to OCC immediately of the toilet being in working order for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“During a Full inspection on Tuesday, November 19th the provider shared with the Licensing Specialist that the toilet in the approved child care space has been out of order since Sunday, November 17th due do it needing a new base ring. During today's follow up visit the Licensing Specialist noted that the toilet is able to be used as it has running water and can be flushed. The provider shared that her son installed a new ring at the base of the toilet last night. Although the toilet is able to be utilized, it is still not in good working condition due to a minor leak coming from behind the tank when it is flushed. The provider is using a towel to absorb the water from the leak each time the toilet is flushed. The Licensing Specialist will conduct another follow up visit once the provider notifies the OCC that the toilet has been repaired and is no longer leaking.”
