Village Green Health and Rehab: PASARR Screening Failure - NC
Federal health inspectors cited Village Green Health and Rehabilitation for failing to conduct what are known as PASARR evaluations, a pre-admission screening process meant to determine whether residents with mental disorders or intellectual disabilities are in the right care setting and receiving the right services. The deficiency was documented during a standard health inspection on May 13, 2026.
The screening process exists for a specific reason. Residents with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, intellectual disabilities, or related conditions have distinct care needs that a standard nursing home assessment can miss entirely. Without a completed PASARR evaluation, a resident may be placed in a facility that cannot adequately serve them, or may simply go without specialized services they need, sometimes for months.
Inspectors classified the violation as isolated in scope, meaning it did not affect every resident in the building. The severity rating was a Level D, the lowest tier on the federal scale, indicating no actual harm was documented. But inspectors noted the potential for more than minimal harm.
That gap, between "no documented harm" and "no harm at all," is where the real risk sits. A resident who needed a mental health specialist, a behavioral support plan, or a different level of psychiatric care would have had no way of knowing the screening that should have triggered those services was never done.
Village Green reported a correction date of May 12, 2026, one day before the inspection itself was completed.
The facility has not responded publicly to the citation.
PASARR, which stands for Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review, has been a federal requirement for nursing homes receiving Medicaid funding for decades. The process is supposed to catch residents who might be better served in a psychiatric facility or community-based program, and to ensure that those who do remain in nursing home care receive any specialized services their condition requires. When facilities skip or mishandle the screening, residents with serious mental health needs can end up warehoused in settings that were never equipped to help them.
The failure documented at Village Green was not described as a pattern across the facility, and inspectors did not identify a resident who suffered a documented injury as a result. But the nature of the violation makes harm difficult to see. A missed PASARR evaluation doesn't leave a bruise. It leaves a gap in a chart, and a person whose needs were never fully assessed.
What inspectors found, at its core, was a resident or residents who moved through the front door of Village Green without the evaluation that was supposed to happen first. Whether anyone inside the building noticed the gap, or whether the resident in question ever received the services they may have needed, the inspection report does not say.
The facility told regulators it had corrected the problem the day before inspectors finished their review.
