We had discussed him [Resident #1] refusing his insulin in morning meeting.Review of the policy and procedure titled Notification of Changes, with an implementation date of 11/2020 and a revision date of 8/16/2022 read, Policy: The purpose of this policy is to ensure the facility promptly informs the resident, consults the resident's physician; and notifies, consistent with his or her authority, the resident's representative when there is a change requiring notification. Compliance Guidelines: The facility must inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician and/or notify the resident's family member or legal representative when there is a change requiring such notification. Circumstances requiring notification include: Clinical complications. Additional considerations: 1. Competent individuals: a. The facility must still contact the resident's physician and notify residents representative, if known. c. When a resident is mentally competent, such a designated family member should be notified of significant changes in the resident's health status because the resident may not be able to notify them personally.

interview on 01/29/2026 at 2:37 PM the APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) stated, I've known him [Resident #1] for quite some time. That was something he [Resident #1] also did at [Name of a different facility], refuse blood sugar monitoring and/or insulin. He was stubborn and fairly independent. I saw him a couple of days prior to him going out. I had just gotten notification from the nurses that he had again refused his insulin. I told him that his wound would not heal. They definitely would notify me. Maybe they didn't document it. I had quite a few conversations. They would call me after he refused. Any time they give
a higher dose, they spoke with me. I don't typically have a concern regarding notification of refusal of medications. They notify me pretty often. I am in constant contact with the DON and the unit managers, and
the wound care nurse. He would take his insulin if he was feeling bad. During an interview on 01/29/2026 at 3:38 PM Staff B, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, Usually he [Resident #1] would take his medications, but on certain days he would refuse his insulin and accu-checks (used to measure blood sugar levels). It was usually on my shift. I would call his doctor. It should be documented when I called. For
the most part we called her [Resident #1's Primary Care Physician/Advanced Practice Registered Nurse].
There are probably times, I'm not going to lie, that I didn't document it. From what I'm understanding, when
a patient refuses their medications, if it's often, we call the doctor and document it.During an interview on 01/29/2026 at 5:01 PM the DON (Director of Nursing) stated, The expectation is that the nurses notify family and the provider and document it [if a resident refuses medications or treatments].Review of the policy and procedure titled Physician Services, read, Intent: it is the policy of the facility to provide physician services in accordance with state and federal regulations.
