In 2013, a Brookdale facility in Bakersfield, California, refused to give CPR to a resident. It was later disclosed that Brookdale cited a policy to reporters that allegedly prohibited staff members from performing CPR on residents of its independent living facilities; however, the spokesman did not provide copies of the policy to reporters.
Brookdale later reversed its public position, saying that the staff member had misinterpreted the CPR policy. Police closed the Glenwood investigation without filing any criminal charges. The Bayless family said it had no intention of suing Brookdale over Lorraine’s death.
In 2018, the company rejected a $9 per share buyout offer from an undisclosed party.
