Nurse or carer urgently needed for my mother in Almerimar

My mother is 72 years old and lives alone on an apartment complex in Almerimar. She is sick, frail and immobile but refuses to go to the doctor. I need desperately to find a carer or nurse local to the area who can go and visit her and help her. I cannot get to Almerimar until the 3rd of February and the local residents who have checked on her said she is really sick. I have searched everywhere to find somebody who can go and help. My mother speaks fluent Spanish so it doesn’t have to be an English speaking carer. This is my last option in the hope somebody knows someone that can help.

One of the residents called the hospital for an ambulance and they said they would not come out to someone who is refusing medical intervention. This is why I am trying to get a carer who can come and help her in her apartment , As she is not very mobile my thought was they could help with shopping and cleaning and getting dressed etc. . Until I get out there and I can physically take her to a doctor.

A. They are legally bound to attend to someone and 

B the person who said your mother wouldn't accept help needs a slap. 

We called an ambulance for my father and when they arrived my father said he didn't want to go to hospital. They laughed and even though he held onto the door he was put into the ambulance.

Just ring for an ambulance before it's an undertaker.

No sorry. But 112 is like UK 999, if you can't speak Spanish ask for an English speaker. Have exact details of your mother and address and of course someone to let them in when they get there.

Good luck
