Prescription and Medication Assessment

The overmedication of seniors is a growing problem. Medications can interact with one another in harmful ways, and can even cause confusion, falls, or hospitalizations.

At ElderHealth, we don’t just prescribe another pill—we help you get to the root of the problem. Our medication assessments can help you determine which medications are medically warranted, and which might need to be stopped.

Cognitive Assessments and Dementia Consulting

A thorough cognitive assessment is paramount in senior care. All too often, after patients are labeled with one type of cognitive disorder, the topic is never revisited. At ElderHealth, we understand that neurocognitive disorders are highly complex and that modern medicine doesn’t fully understand them.
Cognitive assessments can…
  • help us understand one’s cognitive condition on an individual basis.
  • reveal whether medications and underlying mental health disorders are contributing to symptoms.
  • show how far progressed a disorder is so we can provide the appropriate treatment plan.
All cognitive assessments include:
  • social, spiritual, and trauma history
  • family dynamics
  • hobbies
  • food preferences
  • entertainment preferences
  • sleep habits
  • social disposition

Great news! Cognitive assessments are now available statewide to all Arizona residents as part of our Geriatric Telemedicine Consultations.
