Why Have a Geriatric Assessment?

Our comprehensive geriatric assessment is for adults age 60 and older who:

• Seek wellness and a greater fullness of life
• Cope with mental and emotional changes, multiple health concerns or a chronic disability
• Experience a decline in physical functioning
• Want to protect and improve memory function

In a comfortable setting, the assessment will include a total evaluation of a person’s recent medical care, health status and lifestyle. Areas that are reviewed as part of the assessment include:

• Medical care: Preventive care, lab work and medications
• Health status: Brain and heart function, chronic illness, depression and anxiety, driving capability, medical decision-making, memory/dementia, mobility and balance, osteoporosis, psychiatric/psychological concerns and sleep disorders
• Lifestyle: Nutrition; medical, legal and financial advanced planning; and an environmental, safety and social assessment of the living situation

Participants also receive guidance and referrals to available community resources at no cost.
