Senior Health Primary Care

Our Primary Care Model

Senior Health Primary Care specializes in treating patients 65 years of age or older. As part of the Elliot Physician Network, Senior Health Primary Care consists of geriatricians and advanced practice registered nurses, who are specially trained in the treatment of older adults. A geriatrician is a medical doctor who is certified and trained in the geriatric medicine specialty.

Our Team Approach

The geriatricians and advanced practice registered nurses work closely with an integrated healthcare team comprised of nurses, medical assistants, a clinical pharmacist, and social workers in order to meet each patient’s individual healthcare needs. Longer office visits allow patients the opportunity to ask their doctor questions and obtain specific information about their health status.

We Are By Your Side

The care we provide extends beyond the exam room. Our nurses and medical assistants take the time to answer questions and send new or refill prescription orders to the pharmacy of choice. Our patient service representatives will assist you in making referrals and appointments with other specialists as well as for laboratory and radiology appointments before you leave the office. Should you experience any changes in your health, our staff is available to assist.

Care Settings

When healthcare goes beyond the doctor’s office, our physicians will be there to help manage your care. We follow our patients at select assisted living, nursing, and rehabilitation facilities in the area. We believe it is important for a senior to have consistent care from a doctor they know and trust. When making the transition to a new healthcare environment, we know you have a choice in physicians. We look forward to continuing your care in the following settings:

• Long-term care facilities
• Skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities
• Assisted living facilities
• Elliot Geropsychiatric Unit
