We are located inside Beaumont Geriatrics Assessment Services & Internal Medicine - Berkley.
Our staff consists of board-certified physicians who specialize in treating the specific problems related to older adults. The staff also includes a neuropsychologist, clinical nurse and a social worker dedicated to helping people cope with the problems that sometimes confront older adults.
A multidisciplinary comprehensive evaluation is conducted within 2-4 hours during your initial visit. The evaluation consists of an extensive questionnaire involving a patient medical history, a thorough two-hour physical examination, and tests to determine the person's ability to move about and carry out routine tasks associated with daily living. An evaluation also includes an assessment to determine a person's mental abilities, psychological and social skills.
Evaluation may benefit older adults experiencing:
- a general failure to thrive
- emotional problems
- multiple health problems
- complications resulting from multiple medications
- hardship (or difficulty) taking care of personal needs and management of the home
- bladder control problems
- Alzheimer's disease and/or other memory problems
