Older adults need a special kind of care and understanding to solve the physical, emotional, mental, social and environmental problems that may be interfering with independence. With our many interlinked services, the experts at Bridgeport Hospital provide individualized care recommendations to ensure that older patients receive the special care they require. Our team will work to meet the needs of the patient’s family as well.
Geriatrics is medical care dedicated to treating older adults. A geriatrician — a physician specializing in the medical care of the elderly — has a full understanding of the wide range of physical, mental, medical, social and spiritual issues that older adults can have. A geriatrician is trained to watch for the ways in which these problems can combine to prevent an older person from enjoying life. With expert treatment, older adults can live the fullest life possible.
Bridgeport Hospital’s team works closely with your or your loved one’s primary care physician to make sure that all patient and family needs are met.
Geriatrics works with the Palliative Care team at Bridgeport Hospital.
