I RECENTLY FOUND A DOCTOR FOR MY MOM WHO COMES TO THE HOUSE.
OH WHAT A RELIEF IT WAS FOR ME!

So I thought I would offer up someplace to start in your search if you need it.

I am only listing these sites as a guide to others who need to find a visiting physician.

THIS IS NOT, NOT, NOT AN ENDORSEMENT!

Thanks MB.

Mom lost a lot of her coordination skills and the confusion of trying to get her in and out of a vehicle was so hard on her (and us). Otherwise she is fine at home and still mobile although always with supervision.

The Dr made me realize that I should accept at least SOME help with mom's care. So now I have an RN once a week, a CNA twice a week and I am starting to REALLY understand how this back-up makes a HUGE difference in lessening the load on my shoulders (psychologically as well) and how much better it is for mom too! She LOVES all this company! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

I am so happy for you! I think my Mom's care would have been dramatically improved with a visiting physician at the helm!
