Geriatric Care Q & A

What is geriatric care?

Geriatric care is tailored around the physical, mental, and functional changes older adults experience. At Clear Choice Physicians, you can:

  • Stay on track with your routine physical examinations
  • Monitor age-related health concerns
  • Have candid discussions with a knowledgeable provider about mobility, memory, nutrition, and sleep

Proper care helps you stay as healthy, active, and independent as possible.

How often should seniors schedule geriatric care visits?

Most adults benefit from a routine primary care visit at least once a year, but if you’re managing chronic conditions, you may need appointments every few months or more frequently.

If you have multiple health conditions or recently experienced a hospitalization, your provider may recommend more frequent follow-ups.

How does geriatric care help manage chronic conditions in older adults?

Geriatric care supports chronic disease management by helping you monitor symptoms, follow treatment plans, and reduce the risk of complications. Over three-quarters of American adults manage at least one chronic condition, such as:

  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Arthritis
  • Heart disease
  • Osteoporosis

Your primary care provider can evaluate how well your current treatments are working, recommend appropriate lifestyle changes, and adjust your care plan if something needs to change. 

Medication management can be particularly important if you have multiple prescriptions to reduce your risk of side effects or drug interactions.

Consistent follow-up appointments help your provider track your progress and address concerns early. Personalized care can also support mobility, healthy nutrition, and daily functioning, helping you maintain a better quality of life.

What happens at a typical geriatric care appointment?

Your provider may assess your overall health, discuss recommended screenings, and, when appropriate, evaluate factors such as your balance, memory, nutrition, and mobility.

If you have questions about preventive care, want to discuss recent lifestyle changes, or need to discuss concerns, these visits are the perfect time to communicate with your provider.

To get the most out of your visit, bring an updated medication list, note any recent health changes, and write down questions you would like to discuss. Being open about your concerns helps your provider build your care plan around your needs.

With regular visits and personalized support, geriatric care can help you take an active role in your health. Schedule a visit now by booking online or calling the friendly staff.
