Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
Based on interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to refer a resident to the
appropriate state-designated authority for a level II preadmission screening and resident review (PASRR)
when 2 (Resident #19 and Resident #39) of 2 sampled residents reviewed for PASRR were diagnosed with
a new serious mental illness.
Findings included:
A facility policy titled, PASRR Policy and Procedure, dated 04/04/2023, revealed, The PASRR consists of a
Level I Screening, a Level 2 evaluation (if needed), and a determination, The PASRR is divided into two
components, the Preadmission Screening (PAS) and the resident review (RR). The PAS process is
completed by the hospital prior to an individual discharging to a skilled nursing facility (SNF). A SNF can
also complete the PAS process, but only when the individual is being admitted directly from the community.
The RR process is completed for current SNF residents, readmissions, or inter-facility transfers when there
is a significant change in the individual's physical or mental condition. In the case of an RR, the NF [nursing
facility] initiates the process by submitting a Level I Screening as an RR in the PASRR system. The policy
specified, 3. The MDS coordinator shall complete the RR after 30 days from admission, and when there is a
significant change in the resident's physical or mental condition.
1. An admission Record revealed the facility admitted Resident #19 on 03/17/2022. According to the
admission Record, the resident received diagnoses of bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder on 03/12/2024.
A significant change in status Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of
04/02/2025, revealed Resident #19 had active diagnoses to include anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder.
Resident #19's Care Plan Report included a focus area revised 04/05/2025, that indicated the resident
used anti-anxiety medication related to a diagnosis of anxiety disorder.
Resident #19's medical record revealed no evidence to indicate the facility referred the resident to the
appropriate state-designated authority for a level II PASRR evaluation when the resident received a new
mental illness diagnosis.
The Admissions Coordinator (AC) was interviewed on 04/09/2025 at 11:08 AM. The AC stated if a resident
received a new mental illness diagnosis after admission, the MDS Coordinator was responsible for updated
the PASRR. The AC stated that without the psychiatric diagnoses included, the state agency would not
have requested a level II PASRR, but not having a level II PASRR had not affected Resident #19's care.
The MDS Coordinator was interviewed on 04/09/2025 at 1:25 PM and stated she was unaware Resident
#19 required a level II PASRR.
The Executive Director was interviewed on 04/10/2025 at 9:05 AM and stated she expected staff to revise
and resubmit the PASRR to the state agency.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to develop and implement a
comprehensive care plan that addressed hospice care for 1 (Resident #38) of 1 sampled resident reviewed
for hospice and end of life.
Findings included:
A facility policy titled, Comprehensive Individualized Resident Care Plan (Activities) Isolation, dated
01/01/2024, indicated Comprehensive Individualized resident care plans provide a past and current history
to current issues, illnesses, medication use, and another other factors.
An admission Record revealed the facility admitted Resident #38 on 09/22/2023. According to the
admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included an anxiety disorder and major
depressive disorder.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 02/16/2025, indicated
Resident #38 had a Staff Assessment for Mental Status (SAMS) that revealed the resident had modified
independence in cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated that the resident received
hospice care.
Resident #38's Care Plan Report with an admission date of 09/22/2023, revealed no evidence to indicate a
care plan that addressed hospice services.
Resident #38's Order Summary Report with orders active as of 04/09/2025, revealed an order dated
09/22/2023, that directed admitted to hospice, no hospitalization, routine laboratory tests or x-rays without
prior authorization.
The MDS Coordinator was interviewed on 04/09/2025 at 1:01 PM. The MDS Coordinator stated she
typically included hospice on a resident's care plan but did not add the residents' code status to the care
plan since the code status was included in the physician's orders. The MDS Coordinator stated it was
important to add hospice to the care plan so facility staff would be able to identify the reason the resident
was admitted to hospice and to alert staff that another team would be working with a resident. The MDS
Coordinator confirmed that Resident #38 received hospice services and that she did not include hospice
services on Resident #38's care plan with information about what would be provided by the hospice
agency.
On 04/09/2025 at 3:10 PM, the MDS Coordinator stated she amended Resident #38's care plan to include
hospice and the services provided. The MDS Coordinator stated she had been unaware she omitted
hospice on the resident's care plan until the omission was brought to her attention.
The Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed on 04/09/2025 at 3:20 PM and stated it was important to
include hospice on the resident's care plan so facility staff would know who provided what type of care. The
DON stated she expected the care plan to include the reason the resident admitted to hospice and any
specific requests Resident #38 and/or their family might have.
The Executive Director was interviewed on 04/10/2025 at 8:57 AM and stated she expected hospice care to
be identified on Resident #38's care plan.
