Assessment and Management of Older Adults

Assessment and management of older adults involves carefully evaluating their physical health, mental well-being, and social needs to identify potential issues early. This process includes reviewing medical conditions, medications, and functional abilities, while considering factors like mobility, cognition, and living environment. The goal is to create personalized care plans that promote independence, prevent complications, and improve quality of life. Effective management may involve coordinating healthcare services, therapy, medication adjustments, and support networks to address the unique challenges faced by older individuals, ensuring they receive comprehensive and respectful care tailored to their evolving needs.
