The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA)s Jamie Ivey Canady and Albert Johnson arrived to the facility unannounced to conduct a complaint investigation visit. LPAs were greeted at the facility door by caregiver Patricia Lactaoen. Before stepping into the facilthy, LPA Ivey Canady questioned if there was Covid 19, Bed Bugs, Roaches, or Scabies at the facility. Caregiver Patricia stated no. LPAs proceeded into the facility. LPAs met with administrator Joan Little, and explained the purpose of the visit. LPAs toured the facility and LPAs observed the medication to be locked and inaccessible to residents. While conducting an interview with the administrator, facility staff, Patricia Lactaoen approached the table and informed LPAs there is one resident in the facility with Scabies. Facility Staff Patricia looked at administrator and said "it was asked if there was scabies here" For safety precautions LPAs moved the visit outdoors. LPA Ivey Canady conducted a phone interview with Joan and Joan stated Patricia Lactaoen had forgotten there was scabies in the facility when LPA Ivey Canady inquired upon arrival.

LPA Ivey Canady interviewed administrator Joan for this continuing case management regarding the Scabies outbreak at the facility. Joan stated: "R1 must have contracted scabies while we were gone at the beach house because R1 didn't have a rash before we were gone. We went to a beach house for 5 days and I took 12 residents along. I am going to quarantine all other 11 residents. They are currently at day program. LPA Ivey Canady advised Joan to alert the day program immediately and have all residents return to the facility. R1 is being treated and was sent to the doctor on 9/23/2023. LPA Albert Johnson inquired if the health department has been notified. Administrator stated the health department is currently being notified today. Administrator stated R1 is the only resident in the facility with any sign of rash.

Based on current Title 22 regulations deficiencies are being cited on 9099-D.
