Healthy Aging

Senior Health

Healthy aging combines prevention, function, safety, and medication review.

What to know

Primary care for older adults often includes fall risk, memory, mood, hearing, vision, nutrition, sleep, continence, bone health, vaccines, chronic conditions, and medication safety.

A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit focuses on prevention and planning and may not replace a problem-focused visit or complete physical.

Steps that may help

  • Bring all medicines, vitamins, and supplements to reviews.
  • Report falls, dizziness, new confusion, driving concerns, or difficulty with daily tasks.
  • Stay active with strength and balance work as appropriate.
  • Review home safety, footwear, vision, and hearing.
  • Complete advance-care planning at your own pace.

When to contact our office

Schedule a visit for falls, memory changes, medication concerns, new weakness, appetite or weight change, or caregiver concerns.

When to seek emergency care

Do not use the website for emergencies.
