The facility has regulations; a budget for 16 staff to staff the cottage but are currently running with 13. (3 vacancies). We noted in the staff schedules that several shifts are covered with overtime. Random dates were selected within the cycle and staffing was viewed to ensure adequate personnel were present. Amythyst cottage, during the time of review, housed both camp and SYTF youth. Staffing was shared by both populations. The facility appeared to be staffed appropriately for the number of youths housed during this time. We found there were no programs or other activities that did not occur due to an inadequate number of staff being present at all levels. Youth were also questioned in this ☒ area, and they all stated that no programs or ☐ ☐ activities have been held back or cancelled due to lack of staff. We discussed a concern regarding the lack of staffing overall in the event of an emergency. While not noncompliant at this time, as the facility consistently operates at minimum staffing, we shared our concern with administration that a minimum staffing number should be established that will ensure safety and cover for emergencies should they occur. Situations change rapidly and it is imperative the facility know to what minimum they should staff to. Overtime is not ordered or mandatory. Staff work together to cover shifts or voluntary overtime is utilized. There is a strong team of DKC staff who routinely volunteer to work when needed and/or specific DPO’s who are familiar with youth also volunteer to work. Staff interviewed noted staffing is sometimes difficult and if they had full staff, they could do so much more. There has been no movement of staff into the facility and the facility has almost a 20 percent vacancy rate.
