What to Expect at Your First Visit

During your first visit, a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment will be completed by a geriatrician and a geriatric assessor. Based on the assessment, an individualized care plan will be developed. This may include:

  • Additional assessments by team members
  • Medication recommendations
  • Further diagnostics or medical testing
  • Referrals to community support services

We collaborate closely with primary care providers and community partners to ensure integrated, patient-focused care.

Caregiver Involvement

We encourage patients to bring a caregiver or family member who knows them well to each visit. Their insights can be valuable in understanding the patient’s health history and current function.
