Geriatric Assessments
Geriatric assessments involve a comprehensive evaluation of an elderly individual's physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being to determine their overall functional status, identify any potential health issues or concerns, and develop a personalized care plan to optimize their quality of life and independence. These assessments often include a review of medical history, physical examinations, cognitive screenings, medication reviews, and assessments of activities of daily living. The goal of geriatric assessments is to promote healthy aging, prevent illness and injury, and address the unique needs and challenges faced by older adults.
