[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in a very similar situation with my mother. I do have guardianship both financial and to make healthcare decisions. Even with both of these we can not force her to take medication or get medical care. She is in an assisted living which we were only able to get her in after an involuntary commitment. She refuses to take any medication or see medical professionals. We had a bad situation where she had a cut on her leg that got infected that she refused to take antibiotics for. We finally were able to treat when she got taken to the hospital in an ambulance. During this the als wanted to kick her out due to noncompliance with allowing open wound treatment. She is bipolar with paranoid delusions and is very difficult and has an angry disposition [/quote] It sounds like she needs a higher level of care in a nursing home.[/quote]
