Residents Affected - Few 1. The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASARR Level 1 screening for Resident #13. The PASARR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (bipolar disorder with an onset date of 02/25/25) was present upon Resident #13's admission date on 02/26/25. This failure could place residents who had a mental illness at risk of not receiving a needed assessment (PASARR Evaluation), individualized care, or specialized services to meet their needs. Findings included: Record review of Resident #13's face sheet, dated 05/28/25, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included bipolar disorder (a mental disorder characterized by periods of depression and periods of abnormally elevated mood that each last from days to weeks), anxiety (intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations), dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (a lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation), and chronic respiratory failure (a condition in which the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide over an extended period). Resident #13's face sheet reflected Resident #13's diagnosis of Bi-Polar had an on-set date of 02/25/2025. Record review of Resident #13's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 03/09/25, reflected she had a BIMS score of 00, which indicated resident's cognition was severely impaired. Resident #13 also took an antianxiety medication during the assessment window. The MDS assessment reflected Resident #13 was dependent on staff for toileting and bathing and required substantial/maximal assistance with personal hygiene. Record review of Resident #13's PASARR Level 1 Screening, dated 02/25/25, reflected that Section C Mental Illness was marked as no, which indicated Resident #13 did not have a mental illness. Record review of Resident #13's care plan dated 03/07/25 reflected Resident #13 had a mood problem r/t to diagnosis of bipolar and anxiety disorder.
