I’m sure that they are used to elderly people accusing their family of trying to bump them off. Sadly she probably has dementia or an infection that is making her say these things, hopefully it’s the latter and she will soon be fine.
I’m not surprised that they are investigating, if she is adamant about the cause I suppose they have to, but it will go on her record so that if she says such things in the future they will be aware of her problems.
Feel sorry for you both as you are doing so much to help her out.

MIL is disabled and living alone in a small ground floor flat. She had dismissed her carers and refuses to let the GP through the door (this was before Covid) so we look after her by doing shopping, cleaning and making her food.
She lurches from constipation to the 'other'. At the moment she is on the 'other' phase.
Since lock down we've just been doing shopping and cooking, but she had a fall and was taken to hospital a few days ago where she's told everyone her son (DH) is putting laxative in her food and trying to poison her.
Obviously he is NOT, but he's being 'investigated' - what can we do apart from just flatly contradicting her?
