Geriatric Evaluation Center
A clinical service of
University Family Physicians, Inc.
Located at Maple Knoll Village
The Geriatric Evaluation Center was created to provide special care
for older adults and their families, whether it’s a complete medical
evaluation or advice about a lifestyle question.
As people get older, staying healthy and active is more important than
ever. We believe older adults should enjoy this time of life in the
best health and as free from worry as possible. Older people and their
families need reliable medical information to help them understand the
changes that occur with aging. Accurate information, coupled with support
and advice, can help older adults live fully and productively with whatever
limitations they may experience as they grow older.
Now there is one source older adults and their families can rely on
for medical advice and support. The Geriatric Evaluation Center is designed
for people 65 and older. Conveniently located at Maple Knoll Village
in Springdale, the center offers expert advice to manage health concerns
and maintain the well-being of the older adult.
The Geriatric Evaluation Center helps people find solutions, whether
it is sorting out an older adult’s complex medical problems, providing
advice on coping with memory loss, or helping a family make a decision
about living arrangements. With your written permission, the center
will keep your personal physician informed of its findings and recommendations.
What to Expect
When you call The Geriatric Evaluation Center, we will take the time
to talk with you about your specific concerns. We will send to you a
confirmation letter, map, and medical record release form(s) so you
may request any pertinent medical records be forwarded to our office
in advance of the appoint-ment.
Our medical assessment includes a comprehensive physical examination
and meetings with appropriate medical specialists. Because our assessments
are so thorough, we allow two hours. Our team uses this time to put
together a comprehensive medical picture, so we can make the best treatment
recommendations.
A one-hour return follow-up appoint-ment is scheduled one week after
the first assessment. This is an opportunity for you and your family
to ask additional questions and learn about our recommendations.
Upon your signed release, all informa-tion will be shared fully with
you and your family members as well as with your personal physician.

a solution that will allow a person to remain as independent as possible.
