What to expect
At your first appointment, our experts will thoroughly assess your health by reviewing your medical history, health needs, and potential risks for age-related conditions. Next, we’ll create a personalized “Care Plan” designed to help you manage your physical, mental, and emotional health, often in partnership with your primary care provider.
A specialized care team will work together to carry out this plan and may include:
Geriatricians
Nurse practitioners
Pharmacists
Physical therapists
Social workers
Other healthcare professionals
Your Care Plan will also consider the needs of you and your loved ones to ensure everyone involved has support.
