Parkview Geriatric Wellness

Seniors are often faced with difficult situations — the loss of a loved one, declining health, loneliness and forgetfulness. As a result, certain behaviors might develop that concern you and your family. Parkview Geriatric Wellness Center is here to help.

Our multi-disciplinary team provides an assessment and an individualized treatment plan for each patient that aims to help them cope with whatever situation they might be facing. A complete physical exam is also provided to evaluate the contributory factors affecting the patient’s behavior. Other services available include a psychiatric evaluation and medication, if necessary; psychological testing; nursing services; family, group and individual therapy; activity, physical and occupational therapy; social services support; and a complete nutritional assessment.

Certain behaviors may indicate their need for special assistance:

• Anxiety
