Mum is in a care home awaiting a review for her long term care after a fall at home. She is 91 and very frail and has been diagnosed with alzheimers, she is very confused and sleeps most of the day. Anyway the home has called me today to say that she is being offered the vaccination on Friday but she is refusing to have it. I haven't got POA but I have told them that she really should have it, even more so as there is a case of covid in the home atm. Ive also put it in writing in an email. Will they be able to force her to have it if she can't be persuaded?
Her refusal of medication is an ongoing problem as she is very depressed and just wants to die. I don't think I could bare to lose her to covid.
