Home-Based Geriatric Evaluation

Home-Based Geriatric Evaluation is a comprehensive health assessment for older adults conducted in their own homes. It involves healthcare professionals reviewing medical history, medications, daily functioning, and social supports to identify health issues and needs. This personalized approach helps to create tailored care plans, ensuring seniors receive appropriate medical attention, assistance with daily activities, and resources to maintain independence and quality of life. By evaluating health in the familiar environment, it offers a more accurate understanding of an older adult’s well-being and promotes proactive, patient-centered care.
