Geriatric Evaluation and Management

Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) is a specialized approach to healthcare for older adults, focusing on their unique medical, emotional, and social needs. It involves a thorough assessment by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and therapists, who evaluate an individual's health status, abilities, and living situation. The goal is to create a personalized care plan that improves quality of life, enhances independence, and addresses issues like chronic illnesses, mobility, and cognitive function. GEM helps ensure that seniors receive comprehensive care that considers the complexities of aging.
