How the AGES Program Can Help

We are a caring team – doctor, nurse and social worker. We talk with you and the elder you’re worried about to help learn what’s going on and how to plan for the future.

With the Patient, We Check

 
•
 How well the brain and body are working.
 
 
 
•
 What in the brain and body might not be working well and why.
 
 
 
•
 How life is going.

With the Family, We Check

 
•
 How life is going for the elder and the family
 
 
 
•
 What kinds of help may be useful at this time and in the future.

What Happens Next?

Once we understand the symptoms, the cause and the choices open to you and the elder, we sit and discuss everything with you.
 
•
 We will share the results of all medical tests.
 
 
 
•
 Help you think about the future.
     
 
•
 Let you know about community services you might want and need, and how to get them.

How We Work with Your Doctor

We write a medical report for you and the elder’s doctor about our findings. We also share with the doctor the choices and future actions we have discussed with you. We encourage you to follow up with the doctor as you make your plans.
