Geriatric Consultation Service

Managing Multi-Complexity

Many older individuals have complex medical problems due to several chronic conditions, medications prescribed by multiple providers, or other issues that may be accompanied by functional or cognitive decline and interfere with quality of life. 

For those patients with a regular primary care physician or specialist, or who see multiple health care providers, NJISA offers geriatric consultation services on a referral basis to assist with management of multi-complexity. Patients will receive a comprehensive geriatric assessment and have access to an interprofessional team who specializes in the care of older persons. A detailed report of the findings and recommendations for care is sent to the referring provider.

Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities

NJISA physicians are on staff at a number of nursing homes, assisted living and residential facilities, and continuing care retirement communities, providing ongoing primary care medical services to residents.
