Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Tool

A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a thorough evaluation used to understand an older adult's overall health and well-being. It considers medical conditions, medications, physical abilities, mental health, social support, and living situation. The goal is to identify strengths and challenges to create a personalized care plan that promotes independence, improves quality of life, and prevents preventable health problems. CGA involves a team of healthcare professionals working together to ensure that all aspects of the person's health are addressed holistically.
