Geriatric Medicine
Programs & Services
Age Well. Age Happy. Live Better.
As you age, your goals, your needs and routines change and so must your medical care. As you enter your senior years, odds are you will encounter new problems (from a disability to illnesses).
Comprehensive Care for Healthy Aging
Our focus is to promote healthy aging and prevent disease while at the same time managing your chronic conditions in order to preserve your independence, maintain your function and allow you to live life to its fullest.
Our geriatricians specialize in memory disorders, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, mood and behavioral symptoms that complicate dementia and cognitive disorders in the setting of intellectual disability.
Should I see a Geriatrician?
Every individual is different, so not everyone 65 years or older needs to see a geriatrician. However, most seniors can benefit as our team has expertise in conditions, syndromes and illnesses associated with aging, including but not limited to:
- Falls
- Incontinence
- Delirium
- Cognitive, mood and behavioral disorders
- Side effects and other medication issues
- Depression
A geriatrician should also be consulted when you notice:
- Significant impairment and frailty
- Behavioral changes
- Mood changes
- Changes in cognition or thinking
- Falls
- A need for a medication review
