Heather won't allow nurses to administer a sedative to her mother to help her sleep. If Ellen doesn't start taking medication, she'll be forced to leave St. Jude's.
Sorry no sympathy, if you wont comply with the doctors in charge then you should be kicked out.

There are families who deal with this issue unrealistically.. They should make this client incompetent and put her under the public guardian .

"I don't want to see her taken to a hospital where they'll just try different drugs on her."

Paranoid much?

Lady, she lives in a nursing home. There are rules of privacy there. They can't hold her hand 24/7. If you can't comply with that, maybe you should take care of your mother yourself, drugfree?
