geriatric care with 80 yr old patients

1

My Mother is close to 90. She only will go to Willoughby Hills Clinic for a doctor because she is still driving which she should not be. She has trouble hearing but never has been asked to go for a hearing test which should be part of Geriatric Care and her Doctor's profile says she specializes in that. She has has elevated Blood Sugar through her regular yearly blood work, but has never been asked to take a Glucose Tolerance test which could make her numbers higher. Her once yearly visit to the Doctor has been cancelled twice and she had to wait another 6 months to see her doctor. She won't speak up when she sees her doctor and is very stubborn and won't let any of her family be a advocate for her. She has so many other problems but her Doctor just shrugs them off, always saying she is in better shape than the Doctor's mother. I don't think this type of care could ever be considered Geriatric care!!! I think the others are the same at Willoughby Hills Clinic and don't even have Geriatric Care as a specialty. I myself went to that facility for awhile, which made return to my own doctor after one year, I tried a couple of doctors but they just don't care, only about how many patients they see in one day. My Doctor is not with Cleveland Clinic and is so wonderful and caring!!! I want Mom to go there but she insists on driving which she should not be doing and she can't drive as far as my Doctor is at. Hearing tests are necessary to keep 80 yrs olds safe and the other drivers on the road too!!!
