Geriatric Care

Seniors face a unique set of health challenges due to the aging process. Chronic disease management is essential for the health and wellbeing of the elderly population. Seniors must proactively manage conditions found commonly in the older community, such as high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, and more.

A combination of lifestyle adjustments, medications, periodic checkups with doctors, and perhaps even alternative treatments can help seniors achieve better health outcomes, while ensuring that they are living their best quality life.

Seniors have many needs that others might not understand. Providing compassionate medical care for seniors is an essential part of ensuring that elderly individuals feel safe, secure, and healthy. It could include anything from medication management and scheduling follow-up appointments to getting the care they need even outside the office.

Diabetes is a serious, long-term health condition that greatly increases the risk of eye disease. To protect vision, regular diabetes eye exams are essential for everyone with diabetes. During these exams, our providers will assess vision quality, check for signs of diabetic retinopathy, and may even use special imaging of the retina referred to a specialist for further evaluation.

All of this will enable our providers to monitor changes in the back of your eye and catch any vision threatening problems before they cause irreversible damage or blindness.

Seniors are more at risk for developing certain diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. As a result, regular screenings are imperative. Knowing the warning signs for certain conditions and addressing them quickly with proper medical care makes a huge difference in quality of life. Furthermore, as we age our bodies naturally change, which can point to future risks and issues that need to be addressed, making it essential that seniors stay abreast of their ever-changing needs.

Early screenings give seniors the chance to remain independent longer, enjoy life more fully, and overall improve their quality of life.

As many of us age, it is important for seniors to make sure they are doing all they can to keep healthy. That's why a routine wellness exam is crucial in helping them maintain their overall health and well-being. During these visits, physicians can provide older adults with necessary screenings tailored specifically to their unique needs, such as tests to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and even depression.

This way, seniors can rest assured that any health concerns are being closely monitored in order to detect possible issues early.

As seniors age, their healthcare needs become more complex. Offering same-day appointments for seniors ensures that they have a space to have their health questions addressed quickly and efficiently. This provides a great service for an aging population whose bodies may not be able to take the strain of having to wait weeks or months for an appointment.

At our clinics, we understand the importance of providing accessible and quality medical care for all – especially senior citizens. That’s why we are proud to offer telemedicine for seniors, allowing them to receive medical attention from the comfort of their own homes.

The process is simple and secure. Through a video or audio-chat platform, our doctors can evaluate symptoms and examine patients remotely in order to provide the best care possible without any additional burden on the patient. We are excited to utilize this form of medical care, which utilizes evidence-based practices to ensure that all our senior patients receive a high standard of care.
