Work FT at SNF that has an ALF attached to it, but ALF is a separate business. ALF uses med techs, when someone falls, one of the med techs will come to our unit and ask a nurse to asses the pt to see if OK. The med techs will say,  they are supposed to call EMT to get pt up, but will attempt themselves (with nurse help) to get pt up. Sometimes the techs stand back, and do little to anything and wait for nurse to direct. It is inappropriate to me and it just seems to be a "quiet" agreement. Im not comfortable and not employed by the ALF. This doesn't seem right to me. Our leadership seems a bit not clear on the topic, or just mum.
