13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman made an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegation. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Executive Director Laura Kephart and explained the reason for the visit. Director of Clinical Services Cara Deiro was present as well.
During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, interviewed staff and witness as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as physician report and medication orders. Regarding the allegation that facility failed to address scabies outbreak, the investigation revealed the following: R1 was observed to be itchy by facility staff and contacted physician by fax on 04/03/2022 to address the itching. On 04/07/2023, R1's family member took the resident to see physician in person and was prescribed topical ointments to treat scabies and itching. Resident was seen by home health the month prior for itchy skin and has a history of itchy skin as a possible side effect of insulin products. Facility denies any outbreak of scabies in the facility and none were reported to licensing. Therefore, the allegation is deemed UNFOUNDED, meaning the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was emailed to facility representative. |
