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 clinical nurse specialist in gerontology, and a social worker dedicated to helping people cope with the problems that sometimes confront older adults.

An evaluation is conducted over three days and involves a one-to-two hour session each day. 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
confusion or other mental impairments
episodes of unexplained fainting (known as syncope)
difficulty walking and/or frequent falls
unexplained weight loss
