• C7.1 - Is the facility safe, sanitary, free from hazards, in good repair, and appropriate for the age and development of children?Non-critical

  Observation. Licensing reviewed the flooring (carpet) throughout the facility. There are multiple rips with carpet lifting that presents a tripping hazard. Temporary repairs have been done to address the risk over the years; however, the carpet is deteriorated and continues to present risks. In addition, in areas there is debris unable to be removed stuck in the carpet. While discussing the issue with the operator, Licensing was made aware there was previous approval in February to replace the flooring; however it was not completed. As the carpets are not regularly cleaned (steam cleaning), Licensing recommends when flooring is replaced to consider a flooring that is easier to maintain and clean. The follow up date reflects temporarily addressing any immediate risks and submitting to Licensing a plan for permanent solution with a timeframe for completion.
