Additionally, administrator Sean stated that two residents (R1, R2) had recently been taken to urgent care and diagnosed with suspected Scabies. However, Incident reports regarding the Infectious disease for R1 and R2 were not submitted to CCLD and Ventura County Public Health (VCPH) was not notified. Review of documents revealed that R1 had been diagnosed with presumed scabies and prescribed Permethrin on 02/07/2024. Furthermore, R2 had been prescribed Permethrin on 1/31/2024. Administrator stated they had not notified CCLD or Public Health due to other residents who were presenting with rashes and itchiness being diagnosed with contact Dermatitis and were waiting for a Dermatologist who was scheduled to visit the facility and test the residents and staff for scabies and confirm if they had scabies. During today’s visit Administrator Sean notified VCPH of the two residents with presumed scabies and possible scabies outbreak and obtained guidance on how to move forward. VCPH will be meeting with the facility this week to address the outbreak. Based on the information obtained during the course of the investigation, the allegation of “Staff did not address an outbreak.” is deemed Substantiated at this time. Pursuant to Title 22 Division 6 Chapter 8 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 9099-D). Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the appeal rights and report was issued.
