An 83 year-old dementia sufferer died of infected scabies bites in a filthy care home.

Pat Lancaster passed away just seven months after she arrived at the infested SouthTowne Memory Care center in Eugene, Oregon, in 2015.

She and dozens of other residents were bitten by the serious Norwegian crusted variety of scabies at the home between 2013 and 2016.

At least two other residents died of scabies, with one man found to have black, dead tissues on his genitals and sepsis.

Sickeingly, with the facility’s lazy workers did not shower residents and claimed the avoidable bites were ‘just a rash’.

And shockingly, it wasn’t until spring 2017 – a full year after a state inspection – that SouthTowne finally dealt with its scabies problem.

According to a official report obtained by the Register Guard, a whistleblower recalled how one resident said ‘I want to die so I don’t itch like this.’

Workers were also accused of spending as much energy covering up the problem as it would have taken to fix it.

They were even accused of ‘stockpiling’ creams to treat scabies, which they used for themselves and failed to give to staff.

The filthy facility was finally investigated after a tip-off in 2016, and finally cleaned up the following spring.

It was fined $39,500 for safety breaches and has since been taken over by new management.
