The Geriatric Assessment Process


Evaluation of a geriatrician at home: personalized quality of life for the elderly.

A geriatric physician's evaluation begins with a comprehensive interview that includes the elderly's medical and family history, a review of current medications, and an assessment of cognitive and emotional status. After that, the doctor performs comprehensive physical examinations and checks the living environment of the elderly. At the end of the process, the doctor develops a personalized treatment plan that includes medical, nutritional and physical activity recommendations.


Answering legal issues within a comprehensive geriatric assessment:

  1. Writing a specialist doctor's certificate for the purpose of appointing a guardian

  2. Writing a specialist doctor's certificate to determine competence to sign an enduring power of attorney

  3. Providing a medical opinion regarding the fitness to sign a will

  4. Functional evaluation for the purpose of exhausting rights with the National Insurance

  5. Recommendation of a specialist doctor for placement in a nursing home or in a rehabilitation setting

  6. Providing a professional opinion to the courts

Technology and support

In-home geriatric physician assessment services are supported by advanced technology that enables efficient management of medical information, monitoring of the elderly's health, and coordination between all the professionals involved in the treatment.
