F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interviews, and record review, the facility failed to refer all level II residents and all residents with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition for level II resident review for one (Resident #82) of five residents reviewed for PASARR services. The facility failed to refer Resident #82 for a PASARR level II evaluation to the State-designated authority. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving specialized PASRR services which would enhance their highest level of functioning and could contribute to residents decline in physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
