County Health Official Offers Clarification Over Kei-Ai Issues
Posted On
An official at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has offered insight into ongoing concerns surrounding skilled nursing facilities (SNF), including the Kei-Ai Nursing Homes.
Zachary Rubin, M.D. works in Acute Communicable Disease Control in the county’s Healthcare Outreach Unit, and while he could not comment on any specific ongoing investigations, he was able to discuss general issues the unit has been managing.
Rubin was responding to a request for information sent by Dr. Ken Hayashida, a member of the Community Advisory Board mandated by the State Attorney General’s Office as a condition of the sale of the former Keiro facilities to Pacifica. Rubin said the county had worked with SNFs to prevent and prepare for COVID outbreaks at their centers.
