[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are sadly mistaken. You absolutely need to check up on things like medication management. My mother’s very stable long standing medical regime was arbitrarily changed by the physician who visited residents. It was weeks before I realized that. And it took months to sort her out. [/quote]

Yes, you should make it a point to have access to your parent's patient account info so you will stay apprised of any treatment changes.  If you are visiting a couple of times a week you will likely notice any odd medication side affects.  You can't expect to be there every time your parent needs to take a pill, or at least most people wouldn't be available to do that.[/quote]

There is no patient account at the nursing home my MIL is at.  They force you to use their doctors who are horrible.  We tried to terminate the doctor and they wouldn't let us.  My MIL is not well cared for at a better rated nursing home.  There is absolutely no communication and we are constantly trying to deal with them unsuccessfully.  They cover up everything.  We notice odd things and report them and the nursing home does nothing.  It is very important to go frequently but even then its not that simple.  My MIL was recently injured and it took them two days to call us and they claimed they could not reach us and yet when they tried we immediately anwsered.[/quote]
