Senior Health and Aging Gracefully: Our Approach to Geriatric Care
As you age, your healthcare needs evolve, and it’s important to receive care that reflects that. At Richfield Medical Group, we offer personalized, proactive care for geriatric patients.
Primary Health Care for Seniors
The best primary healthcare providers take your physical, mental and social well-being seriously. Our team works with you to deliver age-appropriate care that addresses each and every one of your concerns.
Seniors are more at risk for illnesses like osteoporosis, dementia, heart disease and Parkinson’s. By proactively screening for issues, we can help you maintain your quality of life for an extended period.
Direct Primary Care That Empowers
No one is going to make the best decisions for their health if they don’t feel empowered. We take the time to educate senior patients on their conditions and treatment options and care about getting to know you as a human being rather than just a name on a roster.
If you are a geriatric care patient, let’s work together to foster an open dialogue. By keeping communication channels open, we can ensure that you are actively involved in your healthcare journey.
Empathetic Primary Care Staff
17% of Richfield is aged 65 and over, which would make a lack of proper geriatric care training a vast disservice to the community. Thankfully, our primary healthcare team has substantial experience caring for this age group.
Our approach is compassionate, patient-focused and data-driven. You can rest assured that we are taking your concerns seriously and working with you to achieve optimal health.
Medicare Insurance Coverage
65 is a milestone year in many respects. For some, it is time to retire, or your employer and health benefits may be changing in some way. Whatever the case, we are happy to help you navigate Medicare information and find the best plan for your needs.
If you are newly eligible for Medicare, we encourage you to explore Senior Health Connect. Shop, compare resources and learn more about Medicare options in the Twin Cities. The tool is straightforward to navigate, but if any questions come up during the process, we are happy to help.
Medicare Wellness
Once you are all set up with Medicare, you are eligible to receive a variety of services, including our Annual Medicare Wellness Visit. In addition to standard primary care screenings, this includes cognitive impairment and fall risk screens, as well as other tests and immunizations your physician recommends. Learn more about these services here.
