Hi,thank you for your replies to my question a couple of days ago.Does anybody know what happens if family refuse care for their relative,purely on the grounds that family are more than capable of caring for the relative themselves (medical and nursing qualifications for example) I'm assuming safe guarding adults becomes relevant,but what are the long term consequences of this? do police and the courts become involved? and is there a possibility of the relative being taken away from us or anything similar?By the way,my father is totally capable of making decisions and agreed totally with us and wishes for us to care for him.
