The facility immediately removed the basketball net from the hoop and will provide an alternative mechanism that will assist the ball coming safely through the hoop. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vang observed that the nylon net on the basketball hoop had been removed. By 01/22/2026 facility will provide written proof that a protective measure has been implemented to ensure the basketball hoop is safe for the use without the net, and copy of the staff attendance sign-in sheets with the date of completion indicating that all staff members have been trained and understand children’s supervision requirements, children’s personal rights, and health and safety practices for children in care.
