Geriatric Care

Areas of Care

Compassionate, expert care for older adults.

As we age, our health needs change — and sometimes require specialized attention. Our geriatric care team is here to provide the expert, empathetic support you or your loved one needs to stay healthy, independent, and engaged in life.

We focus on the whole person — physical health, cognitive function, emotional well-being, and the practical challenges that often come with aging. Whether you're navigating a chronic condition, facing memory changes, or planning for the future, we're here to guide you every step of the way.

What we can help with.

Our geriatric specialists are experienced in managing the unique health concerns that come with aging, including:

  • Incontinence: Compassionate management of bladder and bowel control issues, with dignity and support.
  • Movement and balance: Evaluation and treatment reduce fall risk, improve mobility, and support physical confidence in daily activities.
  • Dementia: Evaluation, treatment, and ongoing support for memory loss and cognitive decline.
  • Sensory impairment: Strategies and care for hearing or vision loss that can impact safety and independence.
  • Cognitive and emotional changes: Support for mood, behavior, and mental health as part of the aging process.

Personalized care that fits your life.

Aging affects everyone differently — which is why we tailor our care to your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle. Our services include:

  • Geriatric primary care: Ongoing care tailored to older adults, focusing on chronic condition management, preventive screenings, and age-related health concerns.
  • Inpatient consultations: Specialized care for older adults in the hospital, including medication management, support for dementia-related behaviors, and help with end-of-life planning.
  • Outpatient consultations: Comprehensive evaluations to address fall risk, medication side effects, memory concerns, and more.
  • REACH Program (Resource for Elderly and Chronically ill Homebound): In-home visits for patients who are homebound or at high risk of hospitalization.
  • Skilled nursing integration: Coordination with skilled nursing facilities to support recovery and reduce hospital readmissions.
  • Community-based care: On-site geriatric and primary care at senior living communities such as Duncaster and Seabury in Bloomfield.
  • Amyloid therapy program: Disease-modifying treatments for early-stage Alzheimer's that target amyloid plaques to help slow cognitive decline and preserve memory and independence.
