Geriatric Care
Healthcare needs change as we age. Our GPs provide comprehensive care for older adults, focusing on maintaining independence, managing chronic conditions, and supporting quality of life.
Geriatric Care Services
Comprehensive healthcare tailored to the unique needs of older adults.
Comprehensive Health Assessments
Thorough assessment of physical, cognitive, and functional health including the 75+ Health Assessment.
Medication Reviews
Review of all medications to check for interactions, side effects, and opportunities to simplify regimens.
Cognitive Screening
Assessment of memory and thinking, early detection of dementia, and support for patients and families.
Falls Prevention
Assessment of falls risk and strategies to reduce falls including exercise, home modifications, and vision checks.
Chronic Disease Management
Ongoing management of conditions common in older adults including diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.
Care Coordination
Coordination with specialists, allied health, aged care services, and family members.
75+ Health Assessment
If you are 75 years or older, you are entitled to an annual comprehensive health assessment under Medicare. This is a longer appointment that allows your GP to thoroughly review your health and wellbeing.
The assessment helps identify health issues early, reviews your medications, assesses your ability to manage daily activities, and creates a plan to help you stay healthy and independent.
Medicare Covered
The 75+ Health Assessment is bulk billed with no out-of-pocket cost to you. It is available once per year and includes a longer appointment time.
What's Included
Common Conditions We Manage
Managing Multiple Conditions
Many older adults live with multiple health conditions. Managing several conditions and medications can be complex. Our GPs take a holistic approach, considering how your conditions interact and prioritising what matters most to you.
We work with you to create a management plan that balances optimal treatment with quality of life, minimises medication burden, and addresses your personal goals and preferences.
For complex needs, we can coordinate with geriatricians, specialists, and allied health professionals to ensure comprehensive care.
Supporting Carers & Family
We understand that caring for an older family member can be challenging. We're here to support the whole family.
Carer Appointments
Carers are welcome to attend appointments to help communicate concerns and understand care plans.
Clear Communication
We provide clear explanations and written instructions to help with managing medications and appointments.
Service Connections
We can help connect you with My Aged Care, home care packages, and community support services.
Advance Care Planning
Advance care planning involves thinking about and documenting your preferences for future medical care, particularly if you become unable to make decisions yourself. This might include:
- Your values and what's important to you
- Who you want to make decisions on your behalf
- Your preferences for medical treatments
- End-of-life care preferences
Our GPs can guide you through this process and help you document your wishes in a way that ensures they are respected.
