Last month, Patricia Yeager, CEO of The Independence finest escorts los angeles Center, a Colorado finest escorts los angeles Springs-based nonprofit that serves people with disabilities, sent city and county officials a letter outlining significant problems that disabled people experienced during the fire.
Talking out loud and letting everyone know we did a horrible job, Reid said. But she had failed to talk to myself or Bret Waters, he said, referring to the city s Emergency Management Division manager.
I don t want to assume the Red Cross has made mistakes, he said. I want them to kind of work that issue and then come back and say, Hey, we probably could have done this a little bit better or we did just exactly what we were supposed to and there was a misunderstanding.
Yeager claims that five to six people with significant intellectual disabilities were moved to an assisted living facility because nurses at a Red Cross shelter at Cheyenne Mountain High School were uncomfortable with them.
We have checked with all of the Red Cross-trained shelter staff that were involved and all the Red Cross nurses who were working during the disaster, and we were unable to locate any instance of this occurrence, spokeswoman Catherine M. Bard said in an email.
However, the Red Cross provided a photo of at least one person in a wheelchair at the Cheyenne Mountain shelter, and Bard said special medical cots for accessible needs were delivered to all Red Cross shelters.
We re always very open to receiving feedback on how our operation was viewed by our clients and the community at large, he said. The reason for that is so that we can continue to improve on our processes.
The Aug. 30 forum is slated for 2-4:30 p.m. at the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging, 14 S. Chestnut St. It is open to people with disabilities or a family member of someone with a disability who has an experience to share from the fire, organizers said.
