Interviews with three (3) care staff revealed that R1 has had a difficult time isolating themselves as part of the scabies infection control protocols and R1 goes out into the community often. A records review revealed that R1 currently has prescribed medications to treat the illness and interviews with three (3) care staff revealed that staff are assisting R1 with their treatment plan.
Interviews with care staff and Outside Source #2 (OS2), who advocates for Resident #2 (R2), also revealed that R2 had contracted scabies due to living in proximity to R1. R2 has completed their treatment and isolation period and no longer has the illness. The interviews also revealed that Resident #3 (R3) also completed an isolation period and has not contracted the illness. There are no other cases of scabies.
A records review conducted on July 23, 2025 revealed that the facility has an Infection Control Plan and a specific scabies subsection to address the illness. An interview with the Wellness Director revealed that they were able to describe the infection control plan to address scabies and how it has been implemented at the facility. Interviews with three (3) care staff also revealed that staff were properly trained on how to use PPE, how to do laundry under scabies infection control protocols and how to disinfect frequently touched surfaces. During a Department tour of the facility it was observed that the facility had a good supply of PPE and PPE was placed at the entrance of R1, R2 and R3’s bedrooms. There were also two washing machines on this floor and one was designated specifically for R1’s laundry.
Due to a lack of corroborating evidence, the allegation that staff are not mitigating the spread of scabies is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred, therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
