Center for Geriatrics As they age, older loved ones need a special kind of care and understanding to solve the physical, emotional, mental, social, and environmental problems that may be interfering with their independence. With our many interlinked geriatric services, the geriatric experts at Bridgeport Hospital will provide individualized care recommendations to ensure your loved ones they get exactly the special care they require, and can support your family as well.
What Is Geriatrics?
Geriatrics is medical care that is 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 geriatric team works closely with your loved one’s primary care physician to make sure that all patient and family needs are met.
