[QUOTE="2christine, post: 454838, member: 87306"] I know where you are in this ,its sad and no one seems to care ,I have been in a similar situation for the last 10 years,your advise with medical power of attorney is very welcome and useful to know, my mum is very close to deaths door now, i have been poorly recently, having had a pelvic floor repair so mam has been living with my younger sister who has all say in her care ,i find it hard to accept the things that go on, for example last Tuesday I had a call from one of her carers, she found mam very poorly and called the paramedics who wanted to take her into hospital ,they wanted a member of the family to sign a statement refusing their advise, where was my sister, unreachable, always is on her day off. so I asked my son to go in and sign, can you imagine the hassle he and I got, when she got home. the next day the carers asked me to go to see mam ,to sort things out, i was there for 4 days, mam improved with lots of fluids, but I got so incensed by what was going on around her I had to go home and swallow it. I have a mobile phone the camera takes a good photos but these days a photo can be altered so I don't think it would be excepted in evidence but you never know, so take one with you next time you see your mam and best wishes to you and I hope things end well for you and your mum.
