Definitely start with the MD. The PT only deals with the physical problems, the emotional and neurological ones require intervention with a geriatric specialist. She should have a complete neuro-psych workup and brain imaging to see a more definitive diagnosis can be obtained.

I'm bringing her home from a rehab facility on 12/24 since PT feels like they are not making adequate progress and medicare will not continue to pay for her to be in a rehab facility. I will home health care and PT coming to the house but I will pursue have a neurologist evaluate her again if I can get her mobile enough to get to the doctor. She also suffers from dementia.
