32 | Five of the six residents denied being exposed to scabies while in care, denied receiving any notice of scabies exposure, and denied experiencing symptoms consistent with scabies during their residency. One resident reported having scabies while in care related to the October 17, 2025 incident. This resident stated the facility immediately isolated the affected resident and facilitated medical attention, and the resident did not believe other residents were placed at risk.
LPA Haddadin interviewed six staff members regarding whether any residents other than R1 were suspected or confirmed to have scabies, whether any exposure occurred within the facility, and whether an outbreak occurred. All six staff members denied that residents were exposed to scabies while in care and stated they were not aware of any additional confirmed cases beyond R1.
LPA Haddadin conducted a walk-through of the facility and observed common areas and resident living spaces. At the time of the visit, LPA Haddadin did not observe conditions consistent with a facility-wide scabies exposure event, such as residents being placed on isolation precautions, resident complaints of rash or persistent itching, or an increased use of personal protective equipment (PPE) that would suggest an outbreak. Information obtained through interviews and record review did not support that residents other than R1 had a confirmed scabies diagnosis, received scabies treatment, or were placed on contact precautions due to exposure.
Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation, the allegation is found to be Unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have occurred or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to substantiate that the alleged violation occurred.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to a facility representative. |
