I seem to be going round in circles! Mum entered a care home at the end of January. She has Alzheimer's which seems to be progressing quite rapidly. Both the care home staff and myself are concerned as she is eating and drinking very little and is losing weight. They have tried all sorts of things, soft foods, finger foods, fortified drinks and soups, snacks, sweets etc. She has been referred to a dietician (who despite being told Mum's not eating and drinking said she call back in a month to see how things are!!), community dentist (no appointment as yet) and the GP has prescribed fortisip (which she won't drink). Mum is also refusing to take medication. She has, so far, refused to allow anyone to do any tests and will not have her covid jab. When I call the care home I get the message over and over again that Mum is eating and drinking very little but there doesn't seem to be any plan in place as to how things are going to work out moving forward. The GP visited today and has again said Mum needs to have a blood test. They've been saying this for four weeks! I'm not sure what else can be done or I guess who should be making any decisions. When would it get to the point where a hospital admission might be considered and what happens if Mum simply refuses to go. I have power of attorney for health and wellbeing but the care home has also mentioned Deprivation of Liberty Safeguarding (DOLS). If anyone has been in a similar position and can offer any advice I'd be very grateful, I am really struggling with all of this. I should also say that Mum seems happy in herself and is not at all distressed.
