Follow-up on corrections·February 1, 2022

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ashley Smith conducted an unannounced Case Management-Deficiencies inspection visit at the facility today due to deficiencies observed during the investigation of complaint control #29-AS-20210305165753. During the investigation, interviews revealed that at least five (5) residents had rashes in February 2021. A tele-health visit was held with the facility Medical Doctor, in which there was a discussion of approximately five (5) residents whom had rashes. Documentation revealed that the Medical Doctor felt that one (1) out of five (5) residents had the appearance of scabies. Interviews with the Maintenance Director and Executive Director confirmed that a community-wide clean-up took place at the end of February, which included laundering all the resident clothing, washing the carpet, and sanitizing and cleaning all common spaces. In addition, all residents and staff were treated with topical cream for preventative measures. It was communicated that upon notice of the rashes, the facility made the decision to treat the five (5) residents in-house rather than send residents to the hospital due to COVID-19. Whereas the complaint came in early March 2021, the rashes were observed on at least five residents in February 2021. The facility failed to report the suspicion of scabies and/or the rashes to Community Care Licensing. Pursuant to Title 22 Division 6 Chapter 8 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809-D): Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report, and appeal rights, were provided.
