More details to this question:
I am POA agent for a parent who is currently in a rehab/nursing home. I supplied the rehab with a copy of the POA for the file. Instead of contacting me with any questions or concerns, the people there ignored my POA,and was calling another family member to schedule appointments and make medical decisions.

I am sorry to hear about this. I recommend looking into filing a complaint against the rehab/nursing home with the State Board of Medical Licensure. Here is a link which will assist you with that process if you decide to do such: http://www.idfpr.com/Consumers.asp
Also, it would be beneficial to discuss with your family and the rehab/nursing home at length as to who is to be contacted with these issues. Best of luck!
