What is geriatric care?

Geriatric care is an area of medicine that focuses on the health needs of older adults. Aging affects every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. These changes affect how your body functions and put you at risk of developing health problems. 

Aging also affects muscle strength, balance, and movement. These changes may lead to injuries or conditions that affect mobility and independence. 

Older adults are more likely to have chronic health conditions and take prescription medications. Geriatric care specializes in managing health in older adults, taking care of their diseases and helping them maintain independence.

Tru Medical Management is an adult primary care practice that delivers a superior experience centered around empathy, honesty, and professional care for geriatric patients.
