SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES

During an interview with the Infection Preventionist conducted on November 19, 2025, at 11:00 AM, it was confirmed that no scraping, biopsy, or dermatology evaluation was completed when ordered for Resident 75 on August 19, 2025.

The Infection Preventionist also confirmed that a total of thirty-six residents received Elimite treatment, including all third-floor residents, two residents on the second floor, and one resident on the fifth floor, and that one additional resident (Resident 52) tested positive for scabies on microscopic exam.

During an interview with the Director of Nursing conducted on November 19, 2025, at 11:00 AM, it was confirmed that the facility did not obtain a skin scraping or biopsy for Resident 75 for further evaluation, which possibly could have prevented spread and earlier mitigation of scabies in the facility.28 Pa Code 211.10 (c)(d) Resident Care Policies. 28 Pa Code 211.12 (d)(1)(2)(3)(5) Nursing Services. 28 Pa.
