Specialized Care for Older Adults & Patients Living with Serious Illness

Growing older brings unique health challenges and having the right care team can make all the difference. Our geriatricians offer comprehensive, compassionate care designed specifically for older adults and individuals with complex medical needs.

Our team takes a whole-person approach to healthcare, focusing not only on treating illness but also on helping patients maintain independence, improve quality of life, and achieve their personal health goals. Whether managing multiple chronic conditions, addressing memory concerns, improving mobility, or navigating complex medical decisions, we're here to provide expert guidance every step of the way. We also recognize the important role that family members and caregivers play and work closely with them throughout the care journey.

Comprehensive Geriatric Care

The Comprehensive Geriatric Clinic specializes in the unique physical, cognitive, emotional, and social needs of older adults.
Our geriatricians help patients and families address the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes that may come with aging. Care is tailored to each person’s needs, with a focus on maintaining independence, improving safety, and supporting long-term wellness.

Senior care may be helpful for:

  • Managing several health conditions or medications
  • Memory changes or concerns about thinking
  • Falls, balance problems, or changes in mobility
  • Changes in daily activities or independence
  • Coordinating care among multiple doctors
  • Supporting family members and caregivers

Supporting Patients and Families

Healthcare decisions can feel overwhelming, especially when a loved one is experiencing changes in memory, mobility, independence, or overall health. Our teams are here to listen, answer questions, and help patients and families understand their options.

Whether the goal is to support healthy aging, manage complex medical needs, improve comfort, or plan for future care, our physicians provide thoughtful guidance tailored to each patient’s needs and preferences.

As part of Tulane University School of Medicine, our Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Medicine academic programs combine experienced specialty care with academic expertise and evidence-based medicine. Patients and families receive thoughtful, personalized care from physicians committed to improving health, comfort, independence, and quality of life.
