Here's a link to one article about it:
Nursing Home CPR Case: Glenwood Gardens Defends Nurse Who Refused To Help Ailing Patient
If the individual who passed had a signed Do Not Resuscitate order on file, then the facility would have been following the wishes of that person. Otherwise, I can't understand someone from the facility not wanting to help the individual, especially since it's described in the article as an independent living facility.
