The EMD should require any transfer from Belmont Village Assisted-Living a nurse-to-nurse sign off. My mother, Hannah Semba, was transferred by EMTs to Masonic. I was in the room when report was given. EMTs are not medically trained to give report, AND the EMT gave 3rd hand report which was inaccurate and created confusion. He reported that patient received medication to calm psychosis when medication never given. I had to drive back to AL facility to obtain accurate medical information. Masonic ER nurse was unable to contact Belmont Village because facility nurse wouldn't answer her phone AND facility has no answering service. I wish the hospital would contact IDPH and complain. AL facilities in Illinois are poorly (un)regulated. It's bad for ER transfers.
