We look forward to being part of your journey in managing your health and aging well. Patients receive a complete geriatric health assessment, have access to programs and services, and get coordinated care from a unified health team.
Live Your Best Life!
The Seniors’ Community Hub is a new program designed to help patients 65+ live optimally in their senior years, by proactively managing their health and providing the proper care and services suited to their needs.
What to Expect
Our team is made up of doctors, nurses and pharmacists who are specialized in providing senior’s care. We will work with you to set health goals that are meaningful to you and link you to the right supports to help achieve your goals. Because we take a wholistic approach, assessments can be lengthy and sometimes done over more than one session. Parts of our assessment are conducted over the phone or computer and in person at our clinic.
