My mom fell while under the care of my brother. There are covid outbreaks with a variant she is not vaccinated against. She has pain in her pelvis, but dreads a hospitalization.
Isn't this a situation where hospice should step in and arrange to get her confort care? They seem to be holding back due to her PT prior to the fall. Do they need to hear something special here?

Unless your Mom is immunocompromised or has an at-risk condition like COPD, diabetes, etc. please be cautious but don't let fear of covid paralyze you and prevent your Mom from getting propper care for her injury.
In truth there is little to be done for a fractured pelvis but it is very painful and must be diagnosed.
It is time to mask up and go to the ER. She needs xrays.
Let them know she isn't vaccinated against the new variant.
