of her legs. R10 stated they had the NP (V11) from the local wound management come in and look at her
rash and V11 said didn't know what kind of rash R10 had but said it looked like all the other rashes in the
building. R10 said they didn't do any kind of skin scraping to see what kind of rash she had but they treated
her last Thursday with a special cream, and they put it on from her hairline down to her feet. R10 said the
itching stopped after that until just recently and it started itching again. R10 said the worst the itching has
been on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the worst has been a 7 and that was about two or three weeks into
the rash. R10 stated more and more people on the east side was getting the rash. R10 said in the
beginning they didn't really get a treatment for the rash they were just putting some silicone cream on it,
and they ordered her Benadryl but she would only use it at night because it made her sleep. R10 said
someone came around today and talked with her and she told them about the itching again and they were
going to see if she could get another treatment with the special cream.On 09/30/25 at 1:25 PM, R10 has a

V5, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated they have had a few residents who had a rash, and they did the
scraping and then the facility treated them for scabies. V5 said they were seen by V7, NP. V5 said they then
treated everyone on the wing for them.On 09/30/25 at 8:01 AM, V9, ADON/ICP/Wound Nurse stated R5
was the first one to get the rash. She said at first, they didn't know what it was. They sent R5 to the
dermatologist multiple times and they said it was dermatitis. V9 said other residents started to get rashes
and none of the rashes looked alike so they had V11, Wound NP look at the rash and she ordered different
creams and stuff. V9 said she heard staff had rashes and a few of the residents also. She said V10, CNA
told her she had the rash since June or July, but she said another nurse told her V10 said it was since May.
V9 said V10 was covered with the rash. She said V11 got V10 into a friend of hers who is a dermatologist
and they did a scraping, and it was positive for scabies. V9 said when they found out V10 had scabies they
treated the whole building for it and then the ones who had the rash will get a second treatment tomorrow
(10/01/25). V9 was asked if she had any tracking/trending of when all of this started, she said not yet but
she has been working on it because she knew this was going to happen.On 09/30/25 at 8:53 AM, V10,
CNA said back in June she had noticed a rash on her stomach, and she said she didn't think much of it.
She thought it was a heat rash because she had gotten a rash like that the summer before, and it went
away. V10 said then in late July or early August she noticed the rash had spread to her chest, arms, and
thighs. V10 said she didn't report to the office when she had first noticed her rash, but she did report about
some of the residents having a rash. V10 said her and some of the other workers talked amongst
themselves about them having a rash. V10 said they would all report it and put it on the shower sheets
when they noticed any resident who had a rash. V10 said she thinks they contacted a doctor, and they
ordered some type of cream. She said she isn't aware of them doing any kind of scraping on any of the
residents at that time. V10 said they did not put any of the residents on any type of isolation or anything like
that. V10 said V11, NP got her into

documented Purpose To comply with a system for preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating, and
controlling infections and communicable diseases for all residents, staff, volunteers, visitors, and other
individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement. It further documented Guidelines 6. The
program provides for the recording of each suspected infection and surveillance activities as they relate to
individual resident infections. A log is maintained o suspected and actual infections on a day-to-day basis. It
also documented 19. Communicable disease outbreaks and infections that meet criteria for reporting will be
reported to the Local and State Health Department. Investigation and/or outbreak line listing report will be
completed as recommended.A document titled Scabies, dated 07/28/22 and found at Scabies - Symptoms
and causes - Mayo Clinic documented Scabies is an itchy rash caused by a tiny burrowing mite called
Sarcoptes scabiei. In the area where the mite burrows intense itching usually occurs and the need to
scratch may be stronger at night. Scabies is contagious and can be spread quickly through close
person-to-person contact in a family, school, or even nursing home. Symptoms of scabies include itching,
often worse at night, and thin, wavy tunnels made up of tiny blisters or bumps on the skin.The Center for
Disease Control (CD) information, dated 12/18/2023, documented Public Health Strategies for Scabies
Outbreaks in Institutional Settings has a few key points. Scabies outbreaks have occurred in patients,
visitors, and staff in institutional settings. When the characteristic symptoms of itching and rash are absent,
it is easy to misdiagnose scabies, which can lead to outbreaks and often scabies is not recognized until it
begins to appear among staff. Scabies can spread easily under crowded conditions where close body and
skin contact is frequent and scabies outbreaks more commonly occur in the following settings such as
nursing homes, extended care facilities, and childcare facilities. Early detection, treatment, and
implementation of appropriate isolation and infection control practices are essential in preventing scabies
outbreaks. Institutions should maintain a high index of suspicion that undiagnosed skin rashes and
conditions may be scabies, even if characteristic signs or symptoms of scabies are absent (e.g. no itching).
When there is concern for scabies in a person, skin scrapings should be obtained and examined carefully
by a person who is trained and experienced in identifying scabies mites. Appropriate

isolation and infection control practices (e.g., gloves, gowns, avoidance of direct skin-to-skin contact, etc.)
should be used when providing hands-on care to patients/residents who might have scabies. Epidemiologic
and clinical information about patients/residents with confirmed and suspected scabies should be collected
and used for systematic review to facilitate early identification of and response to potential outbreaks.The
facility should have an active program for early detection of infested patients/residents and staff. Maintain a
high index of suspicion that scabies may be the cause of undiagnosed skin rash; evaluate and confirm
suspected cases by obtaining skin scrapings. If there are multiple cases, notify the local health department
of the outbreak; determine if there is evidence of an increase in scabies cases in the community; notify
other institutions to or from which infected or exposed patients/residents may have transferred.Consult with
an experienced dermatologist for assistance in differentiating between skin rashes and scabies. Ensure a
trained and experienced staff member can obtain and examine skin scrapings to identify scabies mites.The
facility should maintain records with patient/resident name, age, sex, room number, roommate(s) name(s),
skin scraping status and result(s), and name(s) of all staff who provided hands-on care to the
patient/resident before implementation of infection control measures: symptoms can take up to 2 months to
appear in exposed persons and staff.MedRxiv.org document Impact of Scabies on Quality of Life and
recent advances in management: A systematic Review, posted 11/26/2024, documented Scabies remains
a significant global health issue, particularly in resource-limited settings. Despite its prevalence and impact
on individuals and communities, scabies often receive inadequate attention in healthcare settings and
research agendas. Scabies affects individuals of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds, with a higher
prevalence observed in overcrowded areas. The burden of scabies extends beyond physical discomfort,
impacting quality of life, mental health, and economic productivity. Thus, it is imperative to diagnose scabies
early and initiate treatment as soon as possible. The facility midnight census report 09/28/2025, dated
09/29/25 at 11:50 AM, documented there were 69 residents currently residing in the facility.
