I would call an attorney about that. Both the places my mom has been allowed it as long as she wasn't going by herself. Sometimes the churches will help with transportation.

I can't imagine the facility would have the "right" to deny her, especially if she doesn't have dementia. They are not her POA. They would bear no responsibility for her once she left the facility. If she fell at church, they would not be liable.

A not so nice thought; Maybe they want to keep her there as a patient, receiving the income from her. If she falls, she would go to the hospital, then to a rehab facility for a long while. If she's not there, they don't make money. You don't want to think that way but I can't figure out why they are laying down the law. Contact an elder law attorney to get this set straight.
