Senior health specialists
As you need new and different types of care, you may work with many types of doctors. For example, if you have joint trouble, you will probably see an orthopedist (bone specialists), or for high blood pressure, you may visit a cardiologist (heart specialists). We can easily connect you with these medical professionals and any others you need.
However, you may also need daily care and a medical team that knows your concerns and medical history. For that, you need a doctor who listens to you closely and carefully, who will be on hand to help you with every twinge and pang.
That's why we have geriatric specialists, nurses and technicians here to take care of you. These medical teams provide healthcare for seniors and have deep expertise in geriatric health needs.
