LifeBanc & LTC Residents

Published

Hi, I just started at an LTC facility and when talking with the nurse training me one question that came up was what I do when a resident passes away. I was under the impression that no matter whether a resident was a registered organ donor or not, LifeBanc would have to be called, but the nurse training me said they wouldn't and kind of made it like it was weird that I asked. She's like "nobody would want their organs anyway". It was an honest question though and I truly thought they had to be notified no matter what.
