Another one of the many pitfalls of sick elderly people living home alone is that they often go to the doctor alone. A recent article in the New York Times talks about the fact that many seniors are not good at communicating their physical issues with the physicians. It is so important that the senior adult is not only accompanied to the doctor but it should be by someone who has knowledge of the person’s daily activities. Many times just the discussion of what the person does each day can be enlightening to the physician.
At AgapeSenior we provide practitioners who come to the assisted living and nursing homes where they can talk with the caregivers and other staff to get a better understanding of the patients overall health.
