Geriatric Care
Comprehensive Healthcare for Seniors
At The Nurse’s Office, where we practice the ‘Art of Caring,’ we offer comprehensive geriatric care to the seniors in our community. We understand the importance of caring for our elderly population.
As primary care providers, we are the first line of support and defense for seniors’ health. We provide elderly people with the care they need to be their healthiest. We work with our elderly patients and their families to manage both healthcare and psycho-social needs. In addition, we arrange, coordinate, and manage our patients’ care with and amongst specialists, such as cardiologists and neurologists, when needed. Further, we coordinate long-term and home care, nutritional counseling, physical and occupational therapy, and rehabilitation for our elderly patients.
We offer comprehensive primary geriatric care, including care for common geriatric conditions such as:
- Cognitive impairment
- Colds
- Coughs
- Cuts
- Falls
- Dehydration
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Fever
