13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Javier Prieto arrive to the facility to conclude a complaint investigation regarding an allegation that staff did not prevent resident from becoming infected with scabies. LPA Prieto met with Executive Director Eva Tawfik. Documentation was obtained from residents #1 (R1), (R2), (R3), (R4) and (R5) for possible diagnosis of scabies. No such diagnosis was discovered from the periods of January 2020 to September 2020. The allegation states that the facility did not prevent resident from becoming infected with scabies, but a facility cannot prevent resident from becoming infected with scabies, but must assure that those resident who were infected with scabies are addressed as soon as possible and treated. It was so documented that residents were medically assessed and treated and contained to prevent the spread of scabies. Staff are trained in the dispensing of the medications and cleaning and proper hygiene matters were in place.
