**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to incorporate the recommendations from the PASARR level
II determination and the PASARR evaluation report into a resident's assessment, care planning, and
transitions of care for 1 (Resident #1) of 2 residents reviewed for PASRR. The facility failed to submit a
complete and accurate request for NFSS in the LTC online portal within 20 days after the IDT meeting. This
failure could place residents who were PASRR positive at risk of not getting the PASARR services for a
better quality of life and could lead to a decline in health.Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated
7.16.25 revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on 2.10.25 with diagnoses that
included: Metabolic Encephalopathy, mild intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, hypertension, hyperlipidemia (a
condition characterized by abnormally high levels of lipids (fats), including cholesterol and triglycerides, in
the blood), hypothyroidism (when your thyroid gland doesn't make and release enough hormone into your
bloodstream), dementia, and unsteadiness on feet. Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS
assessment dated 6.14.25 revealed an 11 BIMS score was noted but was marked as no impaired under the
cognitive skills for daily decision making. Record review of Resident #4's PCSP dated 2.27.25 revealed her
IDT meeting was held on 2.27.25. Attendees included the resident, the PASRR habilitation coordinator,
Resident #1, DOR, DON, Family member A, and social worker. The following NFSS were identified and
confirmed: Durable Medical Equipment. The Comments summary revealed OT/ST assessment and
therapies authorized. During an interview on 7.15.25 at 12:05 pm, OT A stated the normal process for any
resident to get into PT or OT was for them, OT, to do and their evaluation on the resident, to make sure they
met certain requirements, that are then turned into MDS Coordinator. She stated once their documentation
goes back to the MDS Coordinator, the approval is through their insurance and the physician. She stated,
but sometimes, a resident was under a PASARR program. She stated no matter what, it always takes a bit
longer for the approval to get back to the facility, so the facility can start the pt/ot on the resident. She stated
that there are only two residents that were on pt/ot through PASARR, that would be Resident #1 and
Resident #2. She stated that she knows for Resident #1, it took a little while to get all the
documents/corrected from the CRC and it was due to the approval process and delays in paperwork. She
stated that Resident #1 had the IDT meeting on 2.27.25 and was assessed by OT and ST on 3.6.25. She
stated OT never heard back on the PASARR process/program and Resident #1 was D/C'ed on 4.28.25
without receiving services. During an interview on 7.15.25 at 2:05 pm, the MDS stated Resident #1 was
admitted on 2.10.25. She stated that she was not good at the PASARR process and believed she had 30
days to get everything submitted for Resident #1 to receive services. She stated the care plan meeting for
PASARR services was conducted on 2.27.25 for Resident #1. She stated therapy did do an evaluation of
the resident on 3.6.25 but documentation was not sent in for Resident #1 to get approval. She stated there
were some errors in documentation. She stated ultimately Resident #1's documentation

for PASARR was not again submitted until 6.3.25, which the facility was still waiting to hear back for
approval for Resident #1. She stated this should have been done much sooner because services could
have been done for Resident #1 which would start therapy and healing process sooner. During an interview
on 7.16.25 at 11:30 am, the Administrator stated he was familiar with the PASRR process and that the
NFSS was completed by the DOR and should have been submitted. The Administrator stated that during

and submitted on time. Record review of the facility's PASRR policy dated 5.23.17 revealed Initiate nursing
facility specialized services within 30 days after the date that the services are agreed to in the IDT meeting.
