The Geriatric Assessment

The Geriatric Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an older person's health and well-being. It assesses various aspects, including medical conditions, medications, physical function, mental health, and social circumstances. The goal is to create a holistic understanding of the individual's needs, strengths, and challenges. This assessment helps healthcare providers develop personalized care plans that improve quality of life and support independence. It ensures that older adults receive appropriate medical care and community resources while addressing both physical and emotional aspects of their health.
