Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Becky Kennedy concluded the investigations into the above allegations. The investigation began on 10/22/2020.
The investigation into the allegation included a facility visit, interviews, and a review of records. The investigation revealed that Resident 1 (R1) resided at the facility when there was a scabies outbreak. R1’s authorized representative was informed by facility staff that the facility had an outbreak of scabies and that R1 was not diagnosed with scabies, however, with the agreement of R1’s authorized representative would be treated for scabies prophylactically.
The records do not reflect that R1 received a medical diagnosis confirming that they had scabies, however R1’s representative reports that R1 had itching and a rash, while the facility had several residents with scabies. |
