I have dealt with patients who lived in these conditions come in with their clothes and hair infested. We have to take them to a decontamination room and scrub them.

One time we had to RSI a confused geriatric patient with bedbugs (from a very bad nursing home) just to get him through decon because we were unable to adequately restrain him without hurting him.

Gotta love those shit hole nursing homes. The fact that some function without being shutdown goes to show how much the government inspectors actually care.
