This process must be followed to ensure people coming from a community setting can receive education about other placement alternatives before nursing facility admission .The Level I screening process determines if the individual may have a mental illness or intellectual disability. It is generally completed by the nursing facility before admission.If the Level I screening indicates potential mental illness or intellectual disability, a Level II evaluation is conducted. This comprehensive assessment is performed by a qualified mental health professional and evaluates the individual's needs and whether nursing home placement is appropriate. In regard to documentation facilities must maintain thorough documentation of the PASRR assessments, including the Level I and Level II evaluations, as well as recommendations made. Based on the findings of the Level II evaluation, a care plan is developed that may include specialized services or living arrangements tailored to the individual's needs. Residents who are admitted under PASRR guidelines may undergo periodic reviews to ensure that their needs are being met and that they continue to require nursing home care. Nursing homes must comply with all federal and state regulations regarding PASRR. Failure to do so can result in penalties or loss of funding.
