[quote:Anonymous Coward 33733231:MV8yMTU3MjcyXzM2NDYzNjg2XzcyMkE4ODBE] "Jeffrey Toomer, executive director of Glenwood Gardens, issued a statement on behalf of the facility, extending his sympathies to the Bayless family. But Toomer also defended the nurse, saying she followed policy. "In the event of a health emergency at this independent living community our practice is to immediately call emergency medical personnel for assistance and to wait with the individual needing attention until such personnel arrives," he said. "That is the protocol we followed. As with any incident involving a resident, we will conduct a thorough internal review of this matter, but we have no further comments at this time." http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0304-senior-dispatcher-20130304,0,43655.story So, apparently the nurses at this facility do nothing in any health emergency except call 911.
