When to See a Senior Health Specialist

Some seniors are as active and agile as they were 20 years ago. Others need complex care for chronic conditions.

Geriatric medicine specialists are trained to care for older adults. They screen for, identify, and help manage the physical, mental, and social challenges that may come with aging.

Even if you already have a primary care provider, you may want to see a geriatrician if you’re a senior who has:

At least one serious or long-term illness and take several medicines
Pain, weakness or other problems that make it hard to get around
Vision or hearing loss
Changes in your mental status, like confusion, memory loss or depression
Trouble with daily living or taking care of yourself

Most insurance providers, including Medicare, cover geriatric services – but check with your plan to be sure.
