Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our geriatric care services.
While there's no specific age that defines when someone should seek geriatric care, these services are typically most beneficial for adults aged 65 and older, especially those with multiple chronic conditions, complex medication regimens, or age-related health concerns. However, the need for specialized geriatric care varies by individual, and some patients may benefit from these services earlier or later depending on their health status and needs.
We generally recommend that seniors have comprehensive checkups at least once a year, even when feeling well. However, patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or mobility issues may need more frequent visits, typically every 3-6 months. Your doctor will create a personalized schedule based on your specific health needs, medication regimen, and overall condition.
Yes, LiveWell Medical Clinics accepts Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans for geriatric services. We also accept Medicaid and most major insurance plans. Our staff can help verify your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment. We also offer affordable self-pay options for patients without insurance.
For your first appointment, please bring:
