residents living in ILUs gained access as patients to the newly
opened SCU also located in the Village West Health Center.
The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day and is the focal
point for information, service, and assistance to residents. One
of the duties of the front desk was monitoring and responding to
the emergency-pull-cord system installed in the ILUs and other
areas of AFVW where the system is in place. The emergency-pull-
cord system was connected directly to the front desk and a crisis
nurse, an assistant, and a security guard would be dispatched to
the ILU if necessary.
During the years in issue, Mr. Baker used the pool, spa, and
exercise facilities at Village West. Petitioners, like other
AFVW residents, were not charged a separate fee to use these
facilities.
