Geriatric Care Coordination

We have licensed and experienced social workers available to help with concerns related to aging, health, and care needs. If the older adult has a John Muir Health primary doctor, we will provide an assessment of all the factors affecting the older adult’s health and independence. We will communicate with the doctor and coordinate a care plan that supports the health and independence of the individual, couple or family.

We also provide information and connect you to resources and services in the community for the older adult and family. There is no fee for this service. Common concerns we address include:

Dementia or signs of memory loss
Elder neglect or abuse
Caregiver concerns and support
Decline in ability to care for oneself
Loss of independence
Falls and risks related to falls
Frequent hospitalizations or emergency visits
Depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions
Loss, grief, bereavement and loneliness
Unable to manage in current living situation
End of life concerns

Prescription Medication Assistance

We will review your financial and insurance information, and coordinate the application process with you and your doctor. For those who qualify, certain prescription medications may be free of charge. Find out more.

Memory Screening

We offer free memory screening for adults 65 years or older who have a John Muir Health primary doctor and who are experiencing memory loss or cognitive changes. These screenings can identify potential risks and memory changes that may indicate the need for further evaluation. We will assist patients in getting further follow up if indicated and in coordinating a plan to address your memory loss with your primary care physician.
