a sample of 23.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 10/1/24 at 1:30 pm, V1 (Administrator) stated, I am unable to provide a PASARR Policy; we do not have

R30's Notice of PASARR Level II Screen Outcome, dated 7/31/23, documents the date of Short-Term
Approval ends on 10/29/23. The PASARR Outcome Explanation documents that this Level II evaluation is
good within 90 calendar days of the Notice Date listed on the PASARR Level II Outcome and after that
time, you must have an updated Level I and Level II before you to go to a Medicaid Certified Nursing
Facility.
On 10/1/24 at 1:30 pm, R30's Medical Record did not document an updated PASARR, and the Facility
could not produce an updated PASARR.
On 10/1/24 at 1:30 pm, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, We need to update this PASARR. I just noticed that
it was no longer effective after 10/29/23 and was for a short stay. I will get it updated.
