How do I go about switching doctors for my mom if she is in a nursing home, she does not like him, accuses him of being negligent, and I am concerned about him also, but he is the only doctor who works with the nursing home. She had an excellent doctor that she really liked before we had to move to North Dakota.
The facility should be able to supply a list of other physicians you could try. Being stuck with only one choice seems odd.
Can your mother travel well enough to get out and go to a doctor's office? Ask around to your friends & acquaintances, AND other relatives visiting the nursing home, for their recommendations. There may be a listing in the phone book for geriatric physicians. Or try calling the local or county medical association. You may even be able to get names from doctors who turn your mom down as a patient. Doesn't hurt to ask, ask, ask.
Is your mother a candidate for hospice?
Through their services, she might possibly get more attention.
You might consider simply moving your mom to a different home.
I was in a similar situation-when my Mom was in a NH, and can understand how you feel.
Good luck in finding a resolution.
