Consultation Services

A brief assessment to evaluate the current situation...

Families often wait until there is a crises before seeking professional assistance. However, it is much easier for all concerned to take a thorough look at the situation before an emergency arises.

Geriatric Connections provides a comprehensive evaluation of your aging parent. Our assessment includes a functional analysis, evaluating how an elderly individual gets through the day and their quality of life. In addition, we assess the elderly family member’s psychological and social functioning, physical and mental limitations, financial resources and their individual strengths and needs.
