Geriatric Assessments help meet the needs of our elderly patients through providing specialized assessments and supports for seniors who have chronic, complex issues. A clinic is offerred the 3rd Tuesday of each month at the Provost Medical Clinic. The goal of the clinic is to ensure that seniors enjoy optimal health and quality of life while remaining in the community for as long as possible.

Referrals are accepted for the following conditions:

• Cognitive/Behavioural Decline
• Decreased Function not related to specific medical conditions
• Falls, mobility issues
• Incontinence
• Review of Medications
• Capacity Assessment

A Registered Nurse will meet with the patient and their family at the patient’s residence prior to the consultation with the physician to complete at home assessments. A doctor will then meet with the patient and their family member at the clinic for further assessments.

Based on these visits the doctor will then make recommendations to your primary care physician.
