“When the Licensing Specialist arrived to the home, a candle was burning in the front room. It's smell was distinctive. The prohibition of scented items has been discussed with this Provider and sited multiple times due to the potential hazard to children's respiratory systems. She reported that her toilet overflowed, but was repaired last night. However, the smell of sewage remained. Therefore, she was using the candle. During discussion of prohibition of scented items, the Provider extinguished the burning scented candle. During the inspection of the children's bathroom, multiple items that are potentially hazardous to children, some stating that they should be kept out of the reach of children, were unsecured and easily accessible by the children. These items included, but not limited to, a refill bag of scented liquid soap, two containers of bath bomb salts, chemical beauty masks, aerosol dry shampoo and lotion. When asked to do so, the Provider relocated the items to the storage closet. She also reported that she was ordering a latch for the cabinet under the sink. Therefore, these non-compliance was corrected on-site.”
