Specialized Care for Aging Adults

Healthcare for senior citizens can be complex. The Geriatric Assessment Program at The Greens specializes in evaluating and managing all types of medical concerns specific to older adults. If medical, psychological, or cognitive issues are affecting the quality of life for your elder loved one, we can help.

Our geriatricians have undergone specialized training to evaluate and manage conditions that may affect older adults. These include but are not limited to issues such as dementia, depression, falls, chronic pain, adverse drug outcomes, urinary incontinence, and constipation.

Using a patient-centered approach, our doctors can recommend treatments and services to help keep senior citizens healthy, safe, and functionally independent for as long as possible.
