Geriatrics

Our providers enjoy the chance to improve the overall quality of life for older adults. Aging presents unique physical, cognitive, social, and emotional challenges. The goal is to live a long life and to be healthy enough to enjoy it. As people age it is vital to keep a closer eye on any new symptoms as disease processes may present differently than in a younger individual. For instance, confusion or agitation in an elder could be caused by an undiagnosed urinary tract infection. Seniors suffering from chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, etc. need specialized care. Our providers will fully evaluate and examine the patient’s current physical state and fine tune regimens. This may include adjusting medications or lifestyle changes. Conditions commonly treated include pain, memory care, dementia, insomnia, incontinence, depression, balance issues, and more.
