Compassionate Primary Care for Seniors at Every Stage of Aging
Geriatric Care at Our Practice
At Summit Health, we provide personalized geriatric care designed to support adults. As your local primary care team in Haltom City, we focus on preventive care, chronic condition management, medication oversight, and helping seniors maintain independence and quality of life. We’re here to be your long-term medical home not just a place you visit when you’re sick.
What Is Geriatric Care?
Geriatric care is specialized primary care focused on the health and well-being of older adults. It includes preventive screenings, chronic disease management, medication review, and coordination with specialists when needed. At Summit Health, our geriatric care includes:
Complete Health Evaluations
Routine checkups, preventive screenings, lab work, and annual wellness visits tailored to seniors.
Chronic Disease Management
Ongoing care for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, and COPD.
Medication Review & Management
Careful oversight of prescriptions to reduce interactions and improve effectiveness.
Memory & Cognitive Screenings
Early evaluation and monitoring of memory changes or cognitive concerns.
Fall Risk & Mobility Assessments
Evaluation of balance, strength, and fall prevention strategies.
Care Coordination
Collaboration with specialists, caregivers, and family members when appropriate.
Our Approach to Senior Care
We believe geriatric care should feel personal, not rushed. Our approach includes taking the time for longer, thoughtful visits when needed, ensuring clear communication about diagnoses and treatment plans, and focusing on preventive strategies that help reduce hospital visits.
We prioritize each patient’s independence and personal health goals, and we welcome the involvement of family members or caregivers whenever desired.We take time to listen — because quality care starts with understanding.
