Elderly, vunerable people dont just pick up MRSA. It is passed through open wounds. If she has been given the all clear by her doctor then there is not a problem. Did she pick up the infection from work? If she did i think you should be worrying more about the hygeine standards.

if she still has MRSA i would be very careful, i also do the same job and know you have to wear gloves, i had a s/u that had MRSA and was only told this by her daughter, as care wokers in the community we do NOT have to be told if a service user has it but not sure about vise versa, i just think as long as she wears gloves and does not have to change dressings or do any p/c then i would think its ok as a s/u you can refuse to have her!
