We don't know the FULL story here. Just becuase your family members want to look after you doesn't necessarily mean that they are able to do so.
Has anyone asked what the 86 year old wanted.

Strike off a nurse for whistleblowing. Kidnap 86-year-old by force. I'm going to get myself some pills before I get old in this country.
I read in a medical periodical that there is a movement amongst some practice nurses to start discussing euthanasia.

Ageing mother dragged back to gulag
Social workers snatch elderly mother
A woman who removed her elderly mother from a care home amid worries over her health was shocked to see police and social workers on her doorstep with a battering ram ready to snatch her back.
Rosalind Figg was concerned about the treatment her elderly mother was receiving and took her home to look after her personally.
But social workers in Coventry disagreed with her actions and used a little-known power to take her back.
They obtained an emergency warrant from magistrates under the Mental Health Act on the grounds that a "person believed to be suffering from a mental disorder is being ill treated and neglected".
Two days later they turned up at Mrs Figg's Keresley home with police in tow as back up.
Mrs Figg was forced to hand over her distraught 86-year-old mother Betty who was wheeled to a car with a blanket over her head and returned to Butts Croft House.Tags: None
