Why Get a Geriatric Assessment?
Whether your goal is to age in place at home or you’re considering relocating to a long-term care setting, a Geriatric Assessment can play a crucial role in achieving your goals. A comprehensive evaluation from a Geriatric Care Manager helps identify key areas to ensure you or your loved one receive the proper care and support.
What’s Involved in the Assessment?
During an in-home evaluation, we perform a thorough assessment, which includes:
• Fall Risk Evaluation
• Geriatric Depression Screening
• Self-Medication Assessment
• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) Evaluation
• Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)
• Environmental Assessment
• Pain and Skin Assessments (as needed)
Based on the findings, a personalized care plan is created, and together with the family, we implement it to help you age in place and stay at home for as long as possible.
When Aging at Home Isn’t an Option
Sometimes, aging in place may not be feasible, and a transition to a long-term care setting might be necessary. The most common long-term care options for seniors include:
• Assisted Living
• Memory Care
• Board & Care / Residential Assisted Living
Transitions to these settings can be difficult for seniors. That’s why it’s vital to find the right care environment from the start. Moving multiple times can be stressful and disruptive for your loved one.
The Importance of an Independent Assessment
To determine the best care setting, we perform a comprehensive, unbiased evaluation. Here’s why an independent assessment is essential:
• Obtain an unbiased, third-party evaluation.
• Establish a baseline of health and functional status.
• Compare our assessment to the one performed by the care community to ensure the appropriate services are provided—and that costs are accurate.
We’re Here to Help
We can guide you in finding the best care setting for your needs, assist with the relocation process, and provide support throughout the transition. If you wish to remain at home, we’ll help you create a plan to make that happen.
