Prisma Health Senior Primary Care

We offer patient-focused service based on your choices and preferences

When you visit our practice, you will meet with your dedicated social worker right away to determine any concerns or issues with your health care. You'll then meet with your physician for a thorough medical assessment to identify ways to meet your needs.

Whether your concern is about an ache or pain, or a newly diagnosed chronic illness, we are committed to being invested in your health.

Geriatric medicine is its own specialty

Our doctors are trained in internal medicine or family practice prior to completing their fellowship in geriatrics. We have board certified geriatricians who serve as primary care doctors for older patients as well as serve as consultants to other physicians and hospital programs that work with the elderly.

We treat age 65 and older, providing both primary care and specialty referral-based care for healthy to chronically ill patients. We are experts at managing multiple medications, multiple chronic conditions and complex care needs. We take care of healthy, older, physically active persons and those living in assisted living facilities, but do not provide care for older persons living in nursing homes or other institutional care at this time.

In addition to primary care, we provide:

• Geriatric psychiatry – We have onsite services of a certified geriatric psychiatrist and geriatric psychotherapy/counseling and neuropsychological testing is also available.
• Acute care of the elderly unit – For patients needing hospitalization, we offer a fully equipped, modern care unit with specialized staff at Prisma Health Richland Hospital.
• Surgical comanagement services – On a referral basis, we work to optimize the care of older adults with complex medical needs who are undergoing orthopedic or other surgical procedures.
• Memory care services – Comprehensive assessment, treatment and life planning for all stages of memory care, from early onset to advanced Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias.
• Home visit program – Doctors or nurse practitioner visit services for homebound patients in Richland and Lexington counties for eligible patients.
