I work at a nursing home and as soon as a resident arrives, either short-term or long-term, they or their power of attorney/family member must sign a form stating they will be “do not resuscitate” or “full code”. If they are DNR, the nurses and/or staff is not allowed to try to save them. If they are full code, they will try to save them. It has been that way for a long time and I don’t think it has anything to do with Obamacare. With Obamacare, we will all be DNR.
Truth bump.
I had to put my mother into a care facility a couple of times in 2010 when I went out of town. Each time I had to specify DNR or Full Code. I chose Full Code.
