Man Recovered From Coronavirus, But Nursing Facility Won't Let Him Back
As CBS 2's Charlie De Mar reported, the facility flat out said no – all because of something the hospital says it will not do.
GLENVIEW, IL (CBS) — A dementia patient contracted and survived the coronavirus, and on Monday night, he was ready to go back to his assisted living facility. But as CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar reported, the facility flat out said no — all because of something the hospital says it will not do, but that the facility is demanding.
Vincent Comella Sr. tested positive for coronavirus at the end of March and has since recovered. But he is still at the hospital some 30 days later. Family said that is because NorthShore Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview will not give him the test he has been told he needs to leave and go back to his home.
