Health Care Services Designed to Meet the Specific Needs of Older Adults

Management of a Full Spectrum of Health Concerns

In addition to comprehensive primary care services, our program offers a variety of specialized services to diagnose, manage and treat health conditions commonly experienced by older adults.

Our services:

• Geriatric assessment and primary care at UH Foley ElderHealth Center in Beachwood
• Medical house calls program: primary care for adults who are homebound in their own home or in independent or assisted living facilities
• Falls Prevention Clinic at UH Parma and Foley ElderHealth
• Geriatric assessment clinic at UH Portage
• Geriatric consultation team at UH Cleveland Medical Center
• Post-acute medical care at a community skilled nursing facility

Our multidisciplinary team includes health care professionals from a variety of disciplines, including geriatric medicine, nursing, and social work. The team works together to diagnose and treat complaints common in older adults such as memory loss and cognitive changes, depression and anxiety, insomnia, decreased mobility and falls, hearing loss, urinary incontinence, osteoporosis, arthritis and nerve pain, and nutritional concerns. We also help patients manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, and cancer. Many of our services may be offered at home, in the office, in the hospital or in a skilled nursing unit. We will often refer patients to other services available within the University Hospital health system and within the community.
