Growing older brings with it a whole new set of medical and social concerns. For this reason, St. Bernards offers a variety of programs to keep seniors healthy and active. A geriatrician practices at our Senior Health Clinic, and St. Bernards is a partner in the Center on Aging-Northeast. From our 55PLUS membership program to the Senior Life Centers, seniors will find a wide range of daily activities or seminars to enjoy. During times of illness or recovery, or when one is unable to live alone, seniors may benefit from services like home healthcare, adult day care, Lifeline, or assisted or retirement living.
The Senior Health Clinic provides comprehensive health assessments, consultations and treatments for senior adults. A caring team consisting of a geriatrician (a physician specifically trained in treating senior adults), an advanced practice nurse and a social worker coordinate care based on individual circumstances. Appointments may be made individually or by physician referral.
