Does a patient have the right to say who's in their care?

Basically I have a women in my care who's controlling every aspect of my life. She doesnt work with me directly but helps those who help me. I'm in supported living and now she is telling the support workers here I can't have people stay over. Its the final straw for me. I can't handle her controlling my life so much.



Each tear drop falls with sorrow, hoping and praying for another tomorrow!

Just curious as to whether there's any reasons she doesn't want people to stay over at yours? If the people who stay are detrimental to your health, then I understand her point of view (though still think you should be able to make those decisions for yourself as an adult) but if they're helpful to you, I think it's unreasonable for her to say no to it (unless it's a house policy) because socialising is a very important part of recovery and mental health-y-ness.

To answer your question, I'm not entirely sure but I would suspect that you can say you don't want her as part of your care package if you feel the relationship isn't helpful/she's controlling your life. I'd recommend you speak to your care co-ordinator about it if you have one.

In all honesty she has no reason to say I cant have people stay over. Theres no noise, were not disorderly, in fact its more thereputic for someone to stay as I lost a close friend a few weeks ago and I really hate being alone now.
She has absolutly no reason whatsoever for people to not stay over.
Ive spoken to those in my care before when I was last in hospital that I didnt want her in my care and they didnt do anything about it just leaving more confrontation between me and her :(
I really cant stand this women and my family completly understand because of the way she has spoken to them before. She even puts my family down and knocks out down every option we come up with every time.
