Hi BCram,
It is not as simple as you may think as I have first hand experience.
When my father was in a nursing home we were asked if he took ill did we want him treated and looked after in his nursing home or did we want him transferred to Ninewells for treatment. I signed a form stating that if he took unwell with say Covid-19 I was happy for him to be treated and looked after by the qualified nurses in his nursing home rather than be transferred to Ninewells for treatment.
I am sure that there are countless other nursing home residents whose family have also signed these forms.
