What Is Geriatric Care?

Geriatric care is primary care built specifically around the needs of older adults. As we age, health becomes more complex — multiple medications, several chronic conditions, and higher risk of falls or cognitive decline all need to be managed together, not separately. Dr. Portes coordinates every part of a senior patient's care, from Medicare Annual Wellness Visits to medication safety reviews, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Adults searching for a senior care doctor near me in Miami choose this service for its personal attention and continuity across every visit.

Who Benefits from Geriatric Care?

Geriatric care is designed for:

• Adults 65 and older enrolled in Medicare

• Seniors managing multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or arthritis

• Patients taking five or more daily medications

• Older adults at risk of falls or experiencing balance issues

• Families concerned about a loved one's memory or cognitive changes

This service pairs closely with our High Blood Pressure Treatment and Type 2 Diabetes Treatment programs, since many senior patients manage both conditions simultaneously.Este servicio se complementa estrechamente con nuestros programas de Tratamiento de la presión arterial alta y Tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 2, ya que muchos pacientes mayores manejan ambas afecciones simultáneamente.
