Geriatric Exam Clinic in Palm Bay, FL

At Restore Health Urgent Care, we understand that older adults have unique health needs that require specialized attention and comprehensive evaluation. Our geriatric assessments are designed to provide a complete overview of an older adult’s overall health, functional abilities, and quality of life. The primary goal of our geriatric assessment is to identify and address medical issues, functional limitations, nutritional risks, sensory impairments, psychological concerns, and social factors that may impact an individual’s independence, safety, and well-being.

When you visit us for a geriatric assessment, you can expect a thorough evaluation by our experienced healthcare providers. Our team will carefully review your medical history, assess chronic conditions, and and perform a detailed physical exam. We also screen for cognitive impairment, dementia, and depression to detect any mental health concerns early and provide prompt intervention or referrals as needed.

An essential part of our assessment process involves understanding your functional status. We evaluate your ability to perform core activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, along with instrumental activities like cooking, managing medications, housekeeping, and managing finances. Identifying any limitations in these areas allows our healthcare professionals to recommend the appropriate support systems and resources to help maintain independence and quality of life.

At Restore Health Urgent Care, we recognize that mobility and balance are critical factors influencing independence and safety. Our providers will assess your strength, gait, balance, and risk of falls. Since falls are a significant concern for older adults and can lead to severe injuries, we offer personalized recommendations, including assistive devices, physical therapy referrals, and tailored exercise routines designed specifically to help reduce your risk of falls and maintain your mobility.

Nutrition is essential to maintaining health and wellness at every age, but older adults can face unique nutritional challenges. During our geriatric assessment, we carefully examine dietary intake, weight changes, hydration, and overall nutritional status.

As people age, their healthcare needs often become more complex, requiring timely intervention and specialized attention to maintain quality of life and overall well-being. At Restore Health Urgent Care, we understand the unique challenges older adults face and provide comprehensive assessments and care tailored specifically to their needs.

If you or a loved one experiences multiple chronic health conditions—such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, or dementia—visiting Restore Health Urgent Care can be an essential step. Our experienced medical providers can help assess and address immediate concerns, coordinate care, and recommend appropriate follow-up with geriatric specialists when needed.

Additionally, if there’s a noticeable decline in functional abilities, such as difficulty performing daily tasks, mobility challenges, or increased risk of falls, our urgent care team can conduct thorough evaluations and offer immediate interventions to enhance safety, independence, and comfort.

Changes in cognitive function—including memory loss, confusion, or difficulties with reasoning—also benefit from prompt medical attention. We perform cognitive screenings and evaluations to identify potentially reversible conditions, initiate timely interventions, or coordinate referrals for specialized geriatric care when necessary.

Another vital aspect of elder care is medication management. Many older adults take multiple medications, increasing the risk of drug interactions and adverse effects. Our medical professionals can promptly review your medications, provide clarity on their use, and advise adjustments or referrals to optimize safety and effectiveness.

Additionally, emotional and psychological health concerns—including depression, anxiety, or social isolation—are common among older adults. Our providers are trained to recognize signs of mental health struggles, offer immediate support, and recommend resources or referrals to specialized geriatric mental health care as appropriate.

Caregivers who feel overwhelmed or uncertain about managing health-related decisions for elderly family members can also benefit from visiting our facility. Our compassionate care team offers guidance, practical resources, and support to patients and families, helping to ease the caregiving burden and ensure proper healthcare management.

At Restore Health Urgent Care, we understand that older adults have specialized healthcare needs requiring attentive, compassionate, and expert care. Our experienced medical team is well-equipped to address the unique concerns associated with aging, such as managing chronic conditions, mobility challenges, cognitive changes, and complex medication regimens.

While we provide prompt treatment for immediate medical concerns, our providers are also skilled in recognizing and managing conditions common among older patients, including dementia, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. We emphasize comprehensive and coordinated care, working closely with your primary care physicians, geriatric specialists, nurses, therapists, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care.

Preventive care is also a key component of our approach. Our urgent care team conducts thorough assessments to identify potential health issues early on, helping older adults maintain independence and quality of life. We can guide you and your family through important health education, including advance care planning, healthcare directives, and appropriate follow-up referrals to geriatric specialists or other resources.

We understand the importance of providing specialized care tailored to the unique needs of older adults. Our comprehensive geriatric assessments go beyond traditional medical exams, focusing holistically on the distinct physical, emotional, cognitive, and social challenges associated with aging.

When you visit Restore Health Urgent Care, our compassionate providers begin each geriatric evaluation by gathering a thorough medical history. We carefully discuss your current symptoms, past illnesses, medication regimens, and family health history. Additionally, we assess your social environment, including your living situation, available support networks, and resources, ensuring a complete understanding of your everyday life and needs.

Our comprehensive physical examination includes checking vital signs and thoroughly evaluating your cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems. We pay special attention to common geriatric concerns such as frailty, malnutrition, mobility limitations, sensory impairments (vision or hearing loss), and balance difficulties. Additionally, our providers carefully assess cognitive function, memory, mood, and your overall ability to carry out daily activities independently.

Medication management is a critical component of our geriatric evaluation process. Older adults frequently take multiple medications, increasing the risk of potential interactions or side effects. At Restore Health Urgent Care, our team carefully reviews all prescription and over-the-counter medications to identify and prevent potential issues related to polypharmacy, ensuring medication safety and effectiveness.

To ensure optimal outcomes for our patients, we embrace a multidisciplinary approach. Our dedicated team coordinates closely with social workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and mental health professionals. This collaborative approach enables us to identify health risks early, develop personalized care plans, improve quality of life, and help older adults maintain their independence and functional wellness.
