What do Family Medicine Physicians Specializing in Geriatric Medicine do?
Family Medicine Physicians Specializing in Geriatric Medicine, also known as geriatricians, are doctors who provide comprehensive care for older adults (typically 65 years and older).
They address complex, age-related conditions and conditions common in seniors, such as dementia, falls, incontinence, and manage multiple chronic illnesses and medications.
They use a holistic, patient-centered approach to maintain an older adult’s functional status, independence, and quality of life, coordinating care with families and other specialists.
What they do
Holistic Care: Geriatricians focus on the physical, mental, emotional, and social needs of older adults, understanding that aging presents unique challenges.

- Cognitive and Mental Health: Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression.
- Mobility and Falls: Problems with balance and recurrent falls.
- Incontinence: Urinary and fecal incontinence.

Preventive Care: Geriatricians emphasize preventive treatments, such as health screenings, immunizations, and lifestyle modifications, to help older adults maintain their health.
Care Coordination: They often act as the primary care coordinator, working with family members, caregivers, and other medical specialists to ensure integrated, patient-centered care.
Promoting Independence and Quality of Life: The ultimate goal is to help older adults remain functional, independent, and maintain a high quality of life for as long as possible.
