Aged Care and Senior Health
At Everyday Medical, our general practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in supporting senior patients by identifying the need for specialised geriatric medical care. While our GPs are not geriatric medicine doctors themselves, they are skilled in conducting thorough health assessments to recognise when additional care may be required.

Supporting Senior Wellbeing Through Comprehensive Assessments
Our services for aged care focus on diagnosing and managing general health conditions, monitoring chronic diseases, and providing preventive advice to maintain the overall well being of senior patients. If a patient requires more specialised geriatric care, we facilitate referrals to trusted geriatric medicine specialists.
We understand the unique healthcare needs of older adults and prioritise early detection of potential health issues to prevent complications. By collaborating closely with patients and their families, our GPs ensure that the appropriate next steps are taken, including arranging specialist referrals and coordinating multidisciplinary care.
Our goal is to deliver holistic support that allows seniors to age with dignity while accessing the care they need at the right time.

We Answer Your Frequently Asked Questions
What does a GP do during a senior health assessment?
Our GPs conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your health, including physical examinations, cognitive assessments, and reviews of medical history. Based on the findings, they can determine if a referral to a geriatric medicine specialist is necessary.
When would a referral to a geriatric medicine specialist be required?
A referral may be needed if complex age-related conditions such as dementia, mobility issues, or multiple chronic diseases require specialised management that goes beyond the scope of general practice.
Can your GPs help manage dementia before referring to a specialist?
Yes, our GPs can initially assess cognitive concerns and provide support, such as lifestyle advice and medication for early symptoms. However, for more advanced cases, they will refer you to a geriatric medicine doctor for further evaluation and management.
What are common conditions that may require referral to geriatric specialists?
Conditions like severe arthritis, osteoporosis, advanced cardiovascular issues, significant memory loss, and complex medication management often warrant a referral to a geriatric medicine doctor.
How should I prepare for a senior health assessment at Everyday Medical?
Bring your medical records, a list of current medications, and information about any existing health concerns. Having a support person accompany you may also be helpful during the appointment.
Do you provide support in coordinating care after a referral?
Yes, we assist in coordinating ongoing care and work closely with specialists to ensure a seamless transition. Our GPs continue to monitor your health and collaborate with the referred specialists for optimal patient outcomes.
By focusing on thorough health assessments and facilitating specialist referrals, Everyday Medical ensures seniors receive the appropriate level of care when they need it, supporting healthier ageing and improved quality of life.
