A heartbroken son has claimed his mum is suffering a slow death in a care home with no food or water for weeks.
Rob Taylor said his mother was being left to die "slowly from dehydration and malnutrition in front of our very eyes."
The 88-year-old mum suffered a stroke around four weeks ago and was taken to an unnamed hospital in North Wales.
However, doctors told Mr Taylor there was nothing more they could do and started end of life care, with food and fluids being withdrawn.
His mother was then sent back to her care home, reports North Wales Live.
My Taylor, a police rural and wildlife crime co-ordinator, did not criticise nurses or care staff.
But he described the experience as "harrowing" for the family and said he believed his mother's end of life care was "inhumane."
"This is not a story about illegality or legality, it's about ethics," My Taylor said in an emotional video on Twitter.
"My mum is still alive - 24 to 25 days in without any food, any water, no IV drip, nothing.
"She's still alive and it's inhumane and absolutely harrowing to the family."
He added: "Such a precious lady has been allowed to lie on a bed in a care home, in fairness being seen once a day by a district nurse."
Mr Taylor praised the "outstanding job" done by staff at his mum's care home but criticised the ethics that his mum has been "left to die slowly."
He added: "This is how you would treat people back in the 11th and 12th Century - not 2023.
"It's absolutely harrowing. There is nothing we can do, absolutely nothing we can do, and they have been wonderful.
"It's just that it's incredible that she's probably suffering and it's heartbreaking, it's absolutely heartbreaking for us."
Andrea Hughes, director of nursing for BCUHB’s east integrated health community, said they remain in regular contact with the family.
“We fully appreciate what a difficult time this is for Mr Taylor and his family," they continued.
"While we cannot comment on individual cases in any detail, I can confirm that we are aware of Mr Taylor’s concerns and we remain in daily contact with him to ensure that Mrs Taylor receives the most appropriate care.”
