Hollywood Premier sued by resident's daughter.
The letter in early April seemed forthright, notifying families that a resident at Hollywood Premier Healthcare Center received a diagnosis of COVID-19.
“They knew he was positive and they didn’t even tell me. They never told me until I pressed the last day,” Ivey recalled in an interview. “Why didn’t you notify me? Why wasn’t he sent to the hospital? … Why did you keep him there?” The lawyer representing Ivey and her siblings blamed Hollywood Premier for conditions that allowed the novel coronavirus to flourish.
James Ivey, a 78-year-old retired machinist who liked building planes out of balsa wood and fishing in the Sacramento River, entered Hollywood Premier on Jan. 21. Ivey called the facility often to check on her father, but nothing seemed amiss until April 16. Shortly after midnight, a nurse called to say her father’s heart rate was “extremely low” and asked if 911 should be called. Ivey agreed.
