Dr. Kelada was my mother's doctor while she lived ...

Dr. Kelada was my mother's doctor while she lived in an assisted living facility. When my mother started to rapidly loose weight, become more forgetful, and lost her appetite, I sent a letter to Dr. Kelada requesting that my mother be allowed to take a daily vitamin, and I explained why I wanted that for her. I included previous lab results and offered to provide peer review studies that would support this simple request. Also, I asked that she be allowed to have a daily dose of Omega 3, a required nutrient for everyone, but especially the elderly and those suffering from dementia. Her skin is peeling away and bruises almost to the touch. After waiting four weeks I realized that Dr. Kelada was not going to even respond to my request, however, I was informed by the facility that my request had been denied, with no explanation. I work with geriatric doctors every day, so I know that there was no conceivable reason for denying her this basic and simple request. If there was, it would have been a kindness to inform me, since I'm obviously distressed over her decline, and I had gone to all the trouble of writing and support a letter to this doctor. (I also put same request through nurse at mom's facility to pass along to Dr. Kelada), I have found it nearly impossible to be involved in the care of my mother. Very, very sad. Very distressing.
