Based on observation, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above. Children were playing in the "Play room" of the home. LPA observed the following: The kitchen had a "Lysol" Cleaning spray and "Lysol" disinfectant spray next to food/snacks. Additionally, there was "Clorox" powdered bleach out next to the sink in the kitchen as well as another unknown cleaning agent. In the on-limits "Children's bathroom", there was a gallon of "antibacterial hand soap" which was left on the floor of the shower, with the shower sliding door open. The warning label indicates to contact poison control, "if swallowed". Lastly, LPA observed multiple body mists in the bathroom cabinet under the sink, and a box of Clorox wipes on top of the toilet. Due to the age of the children in care, this poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
