Admin tried to get her to stretch her legs and take her medications. Admin noticed that C1 looked tired, asked her if she was okay and if she needed Emergency Services (EMS). C1 explained to Admin that her legs were hurting, but she did not want EMS C1 then started gargling and trying to spit out her medications. Admin decided to contact EMS. While waiting for EMS, C1 became unresponsive and Admin had to administer CPR. Admin completed two (2) rounds of CPR and contacted EMS again to let them know CPR was needed and he was currently conducting. Other staff showed up when EMS showed up. Staff took the other two (2) clients out to lunch so they did not have to see what was going on. Admin continued to do CPR until EMS took over, then Paramedics took over and continued CPR. Approximately fifteen (15) minutes of them conducting CPR, C1 never took another breath. EMS called time of death.
