At Families First Family Medicine, we understand the unique healthcare needs and challenges that come with aging. Our geriatric care services are specifically designed to provide comprehensive, compassionate, and personalized healthcare to seniors, ensuring that they can enjoy a vibrant and fulfilling quality of life in their golden years.
Our geriatric care services begin with comprehensive assessments to evaluate each patient's unique health status, medical history, functional abilities, and social support systems. These assessments help us identify potential risk factors, develop personalized care plans, and coordinate appropriate interventions to address the specific needs of each individual.
Managing chronic health conditions is a key aspect of geriatric care. Our team specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of common age-related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia. We work closely with our senior patients to develop personalized treatment plans that prioritize symptom management, quality of life, and functional independence.
As seniors age, they may be prescribed multiple medications to manage various health conditions. Our geriatric care team provides comprehensive medication management services to ensure that medications are appropriate, effective, and safe for each patient. We conduct medication reviews, monitor for potential drug interactions or side effects, and educate seniors and their caregivers on proper medication administration and adherence.
Preventing falls and maintaining mobility are essential components of healthy aging. Our geriatric care specialists offer fall risk assessments, home safety evaluations, and personalized exercise programs to help seniors improve balance, strength, and coordination. We also provide assistive devices, such as canes, walkers, and grab bars, to support safe and independent living.
Cognitive health is a priority for seniors and their families. Our geriatric care team provides comprehensive memory assessments, dementia screenings, and supportive services for seniors living with cognitive impairment or neurodegenerative disorders. We offer personalized care plans, cognitive stimulation activities, and caregiver education to support seniors and their families throughout the progression of memory-related conditions.
For seniors facing serious illness or nearing the end of life, we offer compassionate end-of-life care and palliative support services. Our goal is to enhance comfort, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life for seniors and their families during this sensitive time. We provide comprehensive care coordination, symptom management, emotional support, and assistance with advance care planning to ensure that each individual's wishes and preferences are honored.
