Geriatrics

Comprehensive, coordinated care for older adults

Community Health’s Geriatrics program provides specialized, patient-centered care for older adults with complex medical, functional, cognitive, or social needs. Our team works alongside your primary care provider to evaluate concerns, stabilize conditions, and create a clear, personalized care plan so you can maintain your health and quality of life. Once care goals are met, patients transition back to their primary care provider with a coordinated plan for ongoing support.

What to Expect

Your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your overall health, including:

  • Medical conditions and medications
  • Memory and cognitive health
  • Mobility, balance, and fall risk
  • Emotional and social well-being

Together, we develop a personalized plan focused on prevention, safety, and managing chronic conditions.

Services Include

Our interdisciplinary team provides:

  • Comprehensive geriatric assessments
  • Annual wellness visits and preventive care planning
  • Cognitive, mood, and fall risk screenings
  • Medication review and support to reduce risks
  • Care management and coordination
