Our Geriatric Care Services

1. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments

A geriatric assessment is a thorough evaluation designed to assess the physical, mental, and social well-being of older adults. This is an essential tool for identifying potential health concerns early on and ensuring that seniors receive the appropriate care. Our team performs:

• Physical Health Evaluation: A complete health review, including a physical exam, mobility assessment, and lab work to monitor chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular health.
• Cognitive Function Testing: Screenings for cognitive decline, memory issues, and early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
• Psychosocial Assessment: An evaluation of emotional health, social support, living arrangements, and mental wellness to ensure a holistic approach to care.
• Medication Review: A review of all medications to identify potential interactions, side effects, or opportunities for medication optimization.

2. Chronic Disease Management

As individuals age, they are more likely to develop chronic conditions that require ongoing management. We provide expert care for a wide range of chronic diseases, ensuring that older adults live comfortably and maintain the highest quality of life possible:

• Cardiovascular Care: Management of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke risk.
• Diabetes Care: Personalized plans to manage blood sugar levels, monitor complications, and improve overall health.
• Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis: Pain management, mobility support, and physical therapy to enhance movement and quality of life.

• Kidney Disease Management: Care for seniors with kidney dysfunction, including monitoring and medications to slow disease progression.

3. Memory & Cognitive Health

Cognitive decline is a significant concern as we age, and we offer comprehensive services to support those experiencing changes in memory and mental function:

• Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care: Early diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term care planning for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
• Cognitive Therapy: Memory-enhancing activities and therapies to maintain cognitive function for as long as possible.
• Caregiver Support: Guidance and resources for family members and caregivers, including education about dementia care, safety, and communication strategies.

4. Fall Prevention & Mobility Support

Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, and we provide specialized services to reduce the risk of falls and improve mobility:

• Fall Risk Assessment: A thorough evaluation of balance, gait, and home safety to prevent falls.
• Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation: Targeted physical therapy to improve strength, balance, and flexibility, and promote independence.
• Assistive Devices: Recommendations for mobility aids such as walkers, canes, or wheelchairs, along with training on their proper use.

Chronic pain is a common issue among older adults, often caused by conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and nerve damage. We provide comprehensive pain management solutions to help seniors live more comfortably:

• Medication Management: Safe prescribing practices to ensure pain relief while minimizing side effects.
• Physical Therapy & Occupational Therapy: Techniques to alleviate pain through exercise, stretching, and movement therapy.
