Problem-Focused Geriatric Assessment

Thank you for your honesty with my folks today, especially my Mom. She needed to hear it (relocation) from a professional outside the family... Thank you again for a big dose of honesty laced with much kindness.

We conduct a problem-focused geriatric assessment when our clients or their family members have a clear idea of the issue(s) they want to address but need help to assess the severity of the problem, or to identify the specific actions that should be taken.

Examples of a Focused Geriatric Assessment:

• Declining self-care abilities
• Social isolation/withdrawal
• Declining memory/poor problem solving
• Recurring falls
• Declining ability to self-administer medication
• Driving concerns
• Financial management concerns
• Household safety/security
• Self-neglect

Having practical guidance on how to deal with critical geriatric problems can be of tremendous value to a frail elder and their caregiver. You don’t have to face complex problems alone.

Call us. We will help you improve safety, one problem at a time.
