Understanding Geriatric Care
Geriatric care is a medical specialty focusing on the health and wellness of older adults. It includes preventive care, management of chronic conditions, and support for physical and mental health challenges that may arise with age. With thoughtful, personalized geriatric care, individuals can enjoy a higher quality of life and maintain independence.
Why Choose Lifecare Primary Medical for Geriatric Care?
Our team at Lifecare Primary Medical provides attentive, patient-centered care to address the diverse health needs of older adults. We emphasize respect, dignity, and a holistic approach that considers all aspects of a patient’s health.
Thorough Health Assessment
Our geriatric care begins with a comprehensive health assessment. Our providers review each patient’s medical history, current conditions, and specific health goals to develop a full understanding of their needs.
Customized Care Plan
Based on this evaluation, we create a personalized care plan designed to support overall health. This may include medication management, nutrition and exercise guidance, and strategies to manage chronic conditions effectively.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Geriatric care requires continuous attention to evolving health needs. At Lifecare Primary Medical, we offer regular follow-ups to monitor health changes, adjust care plans as needed, and provide ongoing support for both patients and their families.
Recommendations from the American Geriatrics Society (AGS)
The AGS recommends the following elements in comprehensive geriatric care:
- Preventive Care: Regular screenings, vaccinations, and early detection of health concerns to support long-term health.
- Medication Management: Careful oversight of medications to avoid interactions and ensure optimal effectiveness.
- Physical and Cognitive Support: Exercise and cognitive health practices to maintain strength, mobility, and mental clarity.
- Chronic Disease Management: Tailored strategies for managing chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Care Coordination: Working with specialists and family caregivers to ensure continuity of care.
These recommendations provide a foundation, but we personalize each patient’s care based on their individual needs and goals.
