Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Permethrin is a medication used to treat scabies. The physician’s orders from the hospital dated November 21, 2025, stated that the discharge instructions were to wash off the Permethrin ointment in 8 to 14 hours and reapplied in 7 days. LPA reviewed R1’s Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of November to January 2026 which shows prescribed Permethrin medication was not noted in the MAR and was not given to the resident. A review of incident report from the facility shows that there have been no reports of scabies in November 2025 received by our Department. Seven out of seven staff including the Administrator interviewed denied that there were scabies incident in the facility on November 2025. LPA made several attempts to contact R1's family member to interview but was unsuccessful. Based on evidence gathered through interviews and document review, the preponderance of evidence has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be Substantiated . Violations are being cited per Title 22 of California Code of Regulations. See LIC 9099-D for cited deficiencies per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted with Assistant Administrator and a copy of this report and the LIC9099-D, along with a copy of the Appeal Rights were left at the facility.
