Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility admitted an individual with a positive PL1 without a complete PE and PASRR determination for 1 of 12 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for PASARR services. The facility failed to ensure a PASARR screening was completed correctly for Resident #1. Resident #1 was marked No for mental illness. This deficient practice could place residents at risk for not obtaining the services needed to treat their mental health diagnoses. The findings include:Record review of Resident #1's admission sheet, dated 09/21/2025, revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included anxiety (feeling of uneasiness or worry) diagnosed on [DATE], bipolar (extreme mood swings) diagnosed on [DATE] and depression (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness) diagnosed on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 09/02/2025, revealed Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 14, which indicated intact cognitive response. Resident #1's mood indicators were present which included little interest or pleasure in doing things, feeling down, depressed, or hopeless. The MDS also documented bipolar (extreme mood swings) and depression (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness) as active diagnoses. Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 06/17/2025, noted the resident used an anti-depressant medication. The goal was Resident #1 Resident will not exhibit signs of drug related side effects or adverse drug reaction. The approach was Assess/record effectiveness of drug treatment. Monitor and report signs of sedation, hypotension (high blood pressure), or anticholinergic symptoms (group of side effects that block the action of the medication). Quantitatively (measure by quantity) and objectively document the resident's mood. Try non-pharmacological interventions before initiating drug therapy. Record review revealed Resident #1's PASARR Level I dated 08/02/2024 revealed that for the question that stated, is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual with a mental illness? was marked as no. During an interview with Resident #1 on 09/23/2025 at 09:33 a.m., Resident #1 said she was diagnosed with her mental disorder a long time ago. She said she had mental illnesses prior to coming to the facility. She said she does take medication for her mental illness, and she sees a phycologist. She also said that she had her own therapist that she was seeing before she entered the facility that she still sees. She said she did not get any other services for her mental health. She said she would like specialized services if she qualified for them. During an interview with SW on 09/23/2025 at 12:37 p.m., revealed that the SW had been trained on PASARR. She said the policy was that the facility had to have a PASARR for all residents before the resident was admitted . She said the hospital or the person doing the referral was responsible for completing a PASARR. She also said if the residents were positive the facility would be sent to LA. She said normally the CCM would ensure accuracy of the PASARR, but the facility did not have a CCM, so she had been ensuring the PASARR's was correct when a resident is admitted . She said she ensures they are correct by looking at the resident's medical records and their diagnosis.

She said the process was to get the PASARR to review it, review the resident's medical records, review the diagnosis and if positive then send it to the LA. She said if a resident had a new diagnosis the facility would do a new PASARR, and the resident would be reevaluated by the LA to see if they qualify for specialized services. She said right now the ADM was responsible for submitting a positive PASARR to the LA. She said if the PASARR is not marked correctly the resident could miss services for which they are potentially eligible. She said normally the CCM monitored to ensure all residents had a PASARR, she said right now she thought it was the ADM. She said the PASARR specialist at corporate office would ensure competency of PASARR. She said when the new CCM starts, they would do the training with the PASARR specialist for cooperating office. She said she did not know why Resident #1's PASARR was marked incorrectly. During an interview with the ADM on 09/23/2025 at 12:48 p.m., revealed he had been trained on PASARR. He said the policy was the facility needed a PASARR filled out before a resident was admitted to the facility. He said the hospital or referring party was responsible for completing the PASARR. He said that the CCM was normally responsible for ensuring the PASARRs was correct but until the facility got a new CCM, he was responsible. He said that he had a PIP on PASARR to ensure they was completed correctly and sent to the LA when a resident was positive. He said the PASARR process was to get the PASARR, review the resident's hospital diagnosis list, medical records, and do family interviews to ensure the PASARR is completed correctly. He said usually the CCM was responsible for ensuring that PASARR was referred to the LA when a resident was positive. He said if a resident was positive before admission usually the LA would meet with the resident prior to admission if the PASARR was known to be positive before admission. He said he is responsible for ensuring competency in PASARR. He said he used the HHS learning portal for PASARR and had the SW review it. He said if the PASARR was not done correctly the residents would not get the necessary services they need. He said he did not know why Resident #1's PASARR was marked incorrectly. During an interview with the CPS on 09/23/2025 at 3:17 p.m., revealed that she had been trained on PASARR. She said that the policy was the facility needed a PASARR before a resident was admitted to the facility regardless of payor source. She said normally it would be the CCM who would be responsible for ensuring the PASARR was correct, however the facility did not have one, so the SW and ADM was doing the PASARRs. She said that she helped the facility if they needed it. She said that the facility would look at the resident's clinical records from the hospital and match it up to make sure the PASARR was correct. She said the process was to get the PASARR, review the clinical admission documents and talk to the family about the residents' mental and intellectual disabilities. She said if a resident was diagnosed after admission the facility would review the new diagnosis and see if the resident was positive for mental illness or Intellectual disability and if the resident was not positive at admission the facility would complete a new PASARR level one and then do the PASARR evaluation and submit it to the LA. After submitting to the LA, the LA would set up a meeting to evaluate the residents and see if the residents qualified for specialized services. She said the CCM was responsible for monitoring all residents who had a correct PASARR and then she would double check. She said the facility monitored the PASARRs through a TEAMS channel that had the admissions in an excel file that was reviewed daily. She said that not having the PASARR filled out correctly could affect PASARR specialized services for a resident that might be eligible. She said Resident #1's PASARR was not correct because the hospital did not mark the mental illness. She said she did not know why the previous PASARR coordinator did not catch the mistake. Record review of the PASARR positive resident list provided by the facility on 09/21/2025 revealed Resident #1 was not on the list. Record review of the PASARR Guidelines revised on 7/2023 revealed It is the intent of the facility to meet and abide by all
