Geriatric screening

Empowering Seniors for Healthier Golden Years

As we age, our bodies and minds undergo unique changes that require specialized attention. A Geriatric Screening is a holistic health assessment tailored for adults 65 and older, designed to detect early signs of age‑related conditions, preserve independence, and enhance quality of life. From mobility and memory to nutrition and social well‑being, geriatric screening addresses the complete spectrum of senior health.

 What Is a Geriatric Screening?

A Geriatric Screening is a comprehensive evaluation that looks beyond single‑organ checks to assess the complex interplay of factors affecting seniors. Conducted by a geriatrician or a multidisciplinary team, it combines physical, cognitive, nutritional, and psychosocial assessments to create a personalized care plan that supports active, independent living.

 What’s Included in a Geriatric Screening?

1. Medical & Medication Review

• – Detailed history of chronic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, arthritis)
• – Comprehensive medication audit to avoid polypharmacy risks

2. Functional Mobility & Fall Risk

• – Gait and balance tests (Timed Up and Go, chair‑stand tests)
• – Muscle strength and joint flexibility assessment
• – Home safety counseling to prevent falls

Cognitive & Mental Health Evaluation

• – Memory and executive function screening (MoCA or MMSE)
• – Mood assessment for depression, anxiety, or social isolation

Nutritional & Hydration Status

• – Dietary review to identify malnutrition or vitamin deficiencies – Body composition or weight‑loss risk analysis

Sensory Health

• – Vision and hearing tests to detect impairment affecting safety and communication

Cardiovascular & Respiratory Check

• – Blood pressure, ECG, and lung function (spirometry) to screen for heart and lung health

Laboratory Screenings

• – Blood tests: CBC, kidney and liver function, electrolyte balance, vitamin D, B12, and thyroid panel
• – Urinalysis to detect infections or kidney issues

Bone & Joint Health

• – Bone density (DEXA) for osteoporosis risk
• Joint examination for arthritis management

Social & Lifestyle Assessment

• – Review of social support, living conditions, and daily routines
• – Counseling on exercise, cognitive activities, and community engagement
