hygiene. She was frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Review of the nursing progress note dated 04/17/22 revealed Resident #37 was transferred to the hospital
via ambulance.

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure an accurate Pre-admission Screening
and Record Review (PASRR) was completed prior to admission. This affected one (Resident #23) of four
residents reviewed for PASRR. The facility census was 38.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #23's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/19/18. Diagnoses on admission
included schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder (recurrent), vascular dementia without
behavioral disturbance, mood disorder, and delusional disorders.
Review of a PASRR record dated 12/09/14 revealed dementia nor any of the mental illness diagnoses were
listed.
On 07/06/22 at 9:10 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #505 stated when Resident #23 was admitted he had a
PASRR from the previous facility which came with him. When it was discussed the PASRR from 2014 did
not reflect mental illness diagnoses, no explanation was provided as to why Resident #23 was not
reassessed to determine if he could benefit from specialized services.
On 07/06/22 at 12:03 P.M., the Administrator stated Resident #23 had been in a different facility between
the one who provided the PASRR and this facility. The Administrator stated Resident #23 had been a
long-term resident at the first facility and had no psychiatric diagnoses. The Administrator indicated he was
not sure why Resident #23 had multiple psychiatric diagnoses added at the facility he resided in prior to
being admitted to this facility.
