A written care plan is required for each child with a diagnosed food allergy, to include instructions from a physician regarding the food to which the child is allergic and the steps to be taken in the event of a suspected or confirmed allergic reaction. Child #3, enrolled for over a month, has a diagnosed food allergy and did not have a written care plan in their file.
Plan of Correction: The director has implemented a two-step process where the deputy director receives the care plan during onboarding, and both the director and deputy director review and sign it. After following up with the parent, he confirmed that the allergy is no longer a concern and that the child has outgrown the diagnosis.
