This failure could affect residents in the facility and put them at risk of inadequate care based on inaccurate assessment. The findings were: Record review of Resident #3's admission record dated 09/26/2024 indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included schizoaffective disorder and mild intellectual abilities. She was [AGE] years of age.
