er no, the visiting care worker is entitled to have their h and s respected. no dodgy grounds to withdraw the service provided the home owner is aware of the issue before threats to withdraw the service are made. just as a care worker is entitled to stay away if you have other safety issues, e.g. wires hanging out of sockets, stairs with no banisters etc
