The geriatric home care assessment aids in the diagnosis of medical conditions, development of treatment and follow-up plans, coordination of management of care, and evaluation of long-term care needs and optimal placement.

In contrast to a standard medical evaluation, the geriatric assessment differs by including non-medical domains as well as emphasizing functional capacity and quality of life. It usually yields a more complete and relevant list such as medical problems, functional problems, and psycho-social issues. As a result, the home care assessment findings are used to develop an individualized care plan. Our Care Managers are ready to answer any questions you may have.
