Geriatric Assessment

A geriatric assessment in a comprehensive outpatient consultation conducted by one of our staff physicians and social workers. The evaluation assesses a patient’s current physical and cognitive health. Together, working as a team with primary care physicians, providing them with specialized insight, the goal is identify the risk factors for cognitive decline, medication interactions, and evaluate multiple diagnoses to optimize the quality of daily life.

The team meets with the patient and their care partners for an initial 2-hour appointment, to share concerns or specific issues. Care partners are also encouraged to attend and share their perspectives and support required. A follow-up appointment is offered to patients to discuss conclusions, recommendations and potential resources or referrals. This information is summarized in a report for the patient.

Medicare or other insurance may cover payment for this service. Co-pay amounts will vary per person. Please inquire with our team about your specific coverage and fees.
