For example - do they automatically call the a= mbulance/paramedics or can they call the coroner if the death is an anticipa= ted death? I am trying to clarify this as I am getting the run around with= my wish to make sure Trina does not have CPR performed on her should she di= e or be dying. My challenge at the moment is that she is not under the care= of a GP or family physician and the specialists are not willing to sign the= form I have been given by the CLSC. Currently, I have been told Trina does n= ot fit the definition or requirements for CLSC palliative care. I am findin= g it take a lot of time before I get a response from the nurse at the CLSC a= nd in conversation with her I am not able to clarify fully what Trina might q= ualify for in the way of CLSC medical visits. I will continue to pursue thi= s with the few CLSC contacts I have made or with a notary again. The notary= I contacted stated he had never been asked to do this and suggested I just w= rite a letter to put on the door...! ?? >=20 > My question of you is to clarify what is needed to allow your staff to b= e comfortable with allowing Trina to die without intervention, specifically C= PR. If it is a 'legal' document then I will continue pursuing this in the di= rection required. My goal is to make this very clear and easy for the homec= are workers caring for Trina. I have chatted with a few of them and they ag= ree and understand but I want to be sure they feel fully supported in allowi= ng her death at home. >=20 > I am in Montreal for the rest of the day until 3 and then driving home to K= ingston. You can reply by email or call me at home tomorrow. I may not hea= r my phone today as I will be walking doing some errands for Trina. I know= we have had this discussion already but I am finding some inconsistencies a= s I try to move it along and wanted to clarify things for the homecare worke= rs level. Thank you so very much. >=20 > Kindly Deirdre >=20 >=20 --Apple-Mail-AAB43EA2-9B22-426E-A4D6-656A13185C2D Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Ok&nbsp; Maria Licoudis RN Care Manager mlicoudis@homecareassistance= .com Office:514-907-5065 Begin forwarded m= essage: From: = DL Waywell &lt; ebtoffelmire@sy= mpatico.ca &gt; Date: December 4, 2019 at 9:25:15 AM GMT-5 To: Maria Licoudis RN &lt; mlicoudis@homecareassistance.com &gt; Subject: Quest= ion re Trina Good Morning Maria, Would y= ou please clarify what the process your homecar
