32 | Regarding the allegation, “Staff isolates resident in room” it is the concern of the Reporting Party (RP) that on or about 05/31/24, Resident 1 (R1) was diagnosed with scabies and the facility isolated the resident for four weeks. File review revealed that on 05/30/24, staff made R1’s Primary Care Physician (PCP) aware of scabs/sores on R1’s back via email by sending them photos of R1’s back and asked to “please advise”. Once R1’s PCP advised that scabies treatment would be ordered, staff asked if they should take scabies precautions and isolate R1 to which R1’s PCP replied with “Until treatment ideally.” Staff then notified the PCP, that their corporate office was having R1 isolate and release with MD clearance after treatment. PCP responded that they would order HH so they could give clearances after treatment. LPA Cortez observed a doctor’s order for R1 to come off isolation by their PCP, dated 06/26/24. Additionally, interviews conducted with Executive Director Kailey Vandewall, Memory Care Director Denise Wadkins, and Health Services Director (HSD) Ian Gadea on 07/25/24, by LPA Camera, revealed that R1 was placed in isolation due to possible scabies, the doctor told them to isolate the residents to prevent spread to others. In addition, they followed Oakmont protocol for scabies which states to follow doctors orders. Interviews conducted with ED Kailey by LPA Cortez revealed that even though R1 was placed in isolation, they were still continuing the same care it just looked a bit different, staff made sure to be using the proper PPE, and R1 had a 1:1 with them during this period. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not sufficient evidence to prove that a violation occurred, therefore the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
Regarding the allegations. “Staff does not ensure resident is provided toiletry supplies, and Staff does not ensure resident's hygiene needs are being met,”; it is the concern of the Reporting Party (RP) that in 2024, R1 was not being provided toilet paper due to clogging the toilet, and that R1 was unkempt and needed increase care with toileting and showering. To investigate the allegation the LPA visited R1 and conducted interviews. On 05/21/25, 05/22/25, and 07/16/25 the LPA observed R1’s restroom with toilet paper accessible to the resident. On 05/21/25, and 05/22/25 the LPA observed R1 to have a neat and well-maintained appearance. Additionally, on 05/21/25, an interview conducted with R1 revealed that they have no concerns, staff help them and treat them well.
