resident up & [Resident 1] hit [Employee 1] in his face. Tried to tell [Employee 1] walk away & [reapproach]
later but [Employee 1] then hit resident twice. First time on his right side I believe & then punched [Resident
1] in his face.

Employee 1 strike Resident 1 stating, .as I let go [of Resident's 1 hands] Resident 1 [struck] [Employee 1].

facility failed to provide care and services in accordance with professional standards of practice for one of
18 residents reviewed for skin issues (Resident 18).

Findings include:
Review of Resident 18's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia (irreversible, progressive
degenerative brain disease that results in decreased contact with reality and decreased ability to perform

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, review of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, facility
documentation review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to implement infection
control practices to prevent or limit the spread of infectious disease for 13 of 17 residents reviewed for skin
conditions (Residents 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, titled Public Health Strategies
for Scabies Outbreaks in Institutional Settings, dated December 18, 2023, revealed the guidance stated:
Prevention: 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). New patients/residents and employees should be
screened carefully and evaluated for any skin conditions that could be compatible with scabies. The onset
of scabies in a staff person who has had scabies before can be an early warning sign of undetected
scabies in a patient/resident. 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 in order to facilitate early identification of and response
to potential outbreaks.
Surveillance: Establish surveillance. 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 .
Diagnostic Services: Ensure that adequate diagnostic services are available. Consult with an experienced
dermatologist for assistance in differentiating between skin rashes and scabies.
During a staff interview on November 19, 2024, at approximately 12:30 PM, Director of Nursing (DON)
revealed the facility did not have a specific policy or procedure for scabies and that the facility would follow
the CDC guidance for a scabies outbreak.
Review of available facility documentation revealed that the facility had identified an increase in skin rashes
in the facility population since approximately December 2023.
Review of the documentation revealed 23 residents were monitored for skin rashes. Of those 23 residents
that were included in the facility monitoring, 16 were still living in the facility with continued rashes at the
time of the onsite survey on November 18, 2024, and confirmed by the DON via an electronic
communication on November 19, 2024, at 2:14 PM.
Review of the documentation for the 16 residents still residing in the facility, revealed rashes were identified
on the following dates:

Based on review of clinical records, Resident 18 was identified as having complaints of a rash that was
communicated to the physician, but no assessment or tracking of the skin condition was implemented.
Resident 3 had developed a rash on May 7, 2024. Review of the facility documentation revealed that
between May 7, 2024, and November 7, 2024, Resident 3 had been treated multiple times for the rash and
had multiple medications, oral and topical (on skin) ordered to treat the rash and itching. However, Resident
3's rash persisted and results of a skin scrape (scraping of the skin observed under a microscope in an
attempt to confirm scabies infection) conducted by consultant dermatologist on November 7, 2024,
confirmed the presence of scabies (contagious skin condition caused by parasites that borrow into the skin)
eggs and mites.
During an interview with DON on November 18, 2024, at approximately 1:20 PM, DON confirmed that the
only residents who was on contact precautions for scabies was Resident 3 and Resident 6, who shared the
room with Resident 3. Resident 6 was being monitored for a rash that was first identified December 24,
2023.
During the interview, DON confirmed that no skin scrapes had been conducted for any other residents that
presented with rashes and, at that time, the facility did not have the means to collect skin

scrapes of rashes. DON also revealed that no skin scrapes had been conducted on residents with rashes
prior to Resident 3's skin scrape on November 7, 2024.
As of November 18, 2024, the facility failed to implement isolation and infection control practices for
Residents 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 for undiagnosed rashes after a confirmed case of
scabies in the facility. Further, at that time the facility had not secured testing via skin scrapes for residents
who present with a rash.
During a staff interview on November 19, 2024, at approximately 3:10 PM, Nursing Home Administrator
revealed it was the facility's expectation that the facility follow the CDC's guidelines after scabies have been
identified in the building.
