The Geriatric Medicine Clinic sees patients who are 65 years of age and older assessing a variety of conditions affecting older adults including cognitive impairment, falls and mobility issues, behavioural difficulties related to dementia, polypharmacy, functional decline, frailty or caregiver strain.
Patients can be referred to the clinic by their community family physicians, specialists or the Stavro Emergency Department. The clinic works in collaborative partnerships with community agencies to improve the health and quality of life for older adults.
Patients require a physician or nurse practitioner (NP) referral in order to be seen by a specialist at the Geriatric Medicine Clinic.
