Geriatrics Q & A

What is geriatrics?

Geriatrics offers a specialized focus on the health of the elderly, age 65 and above. As you get older, your health risks increase. The good news is that average life expectancy has continued to increase over the years. Geriatric medicine might be one of the reasons that the numbers are continuing to move in a positive direction.

However, with about 85% of aging Americans having at least one chronic health issue and 60% having at least two, you need attentive care for your health and wellness.

The team at Stephen Renzi Medical PC aims to catch issues early and provide preventive care. If you have health problems, they identify the root cause and develop a customized plan to meet your specific needs. 

Geriatrics promotes an active and healthy life as you age. Your geriatrics specialists help you achieve this goal and maintain it.

What does geriatrics treat?

To ensure you have the highest quality of care, the expert team provides a broad range of services to diagnose and treat chronic health conditions, such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Dementia
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Cancer
  • Heart disease
  • Osteoporosis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • High cholesterol
  • Hypertension
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Vision and hearing loss
  • Balance issues
  • Frailty
  • Incontinence

  • Depression

The team can also treat everyday illnesses, such as the flu. 

No one can stop the aging process, but your providers can screen you, diagnose you, and provide excellent care to help you maintain a high quality of life for as long as possible.

How can I stay healthy in my geriatric years?

Several key elements can keep you healthy as you age, such as: 

  • Healthy mindset
  • Nutrient-rich diet
  • Consistent hydration
  • Regular exercise
  • Strong support system

Scheduling your routine visits with the team at Stephen Renzi Medical PC can keep your health and wellness in check as well. 

When you come in for your visits, feel free to invite a family member or a close friend to arrive with you. Sometimes, you might need another person at your appointment to take notes and ask questions. That person can also help you implement any recommended lifestyle changes you might need to make to keep your health strong.
