Senior health

Physicians and staff at our senior health clinics strive to make life easier for patients and their family members by offering care in full-service, state-of-the-art facilities. Additionally, social workers are available to help patients remain as independent as possible.

Social workers communicate directly with patients, their families and their physicians to assess individual needs and provide appropriate referrals. Assistance is available for:

• Medication management
• Homemaker/personal care
• Transportation
• Support groups
• Financial aid

Our senior health services also include:

• Same-day appointments
• On-site laboratory services
• On-site radiology services, including X-rays and imaging services
• On-site mammography services
• 24-hour answering services available with on-call physician/nurse practitioners

Senior health clinics are staffed by specially-trained geriatricians whose focus is on primary medical care for patients who are 65 years old or older.

Senior health staff can perform lab draws, medication refills and wellness visits. You'll also have access to home health agencies and other services to help you maintain activities of daily living.

At Medical City Plano, you can enroll in senior health classes designed to improve your flexibility, balance and strength. The goal of these exercises is to lower your risk of falls and injuries.
