Geriatric Care in Troy, MI

As you or a loved one get older, healthcare gets more complicated. More medications. More specialists. More moving parts. What is often missing is a single practice that sees the whole picture and keeps everything in sync.

At Phase Medical Group, geriatric care means more than managing a list of medications. We are a family medicine practice providing whole-person primary care for older adults: physical health, cognitive wellness, functional independence, and quality of life, with continuity of your record and your care plan.

Comprehensive Primary Care for Older Adults

Aging well takes more than annual checkups. It takes a practice that sees the full picture - your daily routines, your concerns about memory or mobility, and how each condition and medication affects the others. We provide ongoing, coordinated care designed to help older adults stay active, independent, and informed.

Chronic Disease Management

Many older adults live with one or more chronic conditions. We manage these in context of the whole person - not as isolated diagnoses. Commonly managed conditions include:

• Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar control
• Heart disease, high blood pressure, and cholesterol
• Arthritis and joint pain - including joint injections when appropriate
• COPD and other respiratory conditions
• Thyroid disorders
• Kidney disease

For more detail, see our chronic disease management page. Lab work to monitor chronic conditions is ordered through our office and billed separately through your insurance.

Medication Management and Polypharmacy Review

As the prescription list grows, so does the risk of drug interactions, side effects, and unnecessary medications. We conduct thorough medication reviews to simplify regimens where possible, reduce risk, and make sure every medication is still serving a clear purpose. If multiple specialists have each prescribed something, a polypharmacy review brings the whole picture back into alignment.

Fall Risk Assessment and Prevention

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in older adults - and many are preventable. We evaluate fall risk factors, including balance, gait, vision, medications, and home environment, and develop practical strategies to reduce risk. Early identification makes a real difference in maintaining independence and avoiding hospitalizations.

Cognitive Health Screening

Memory concerns can be stressful for patients and families alike. We provide cognitive health screenings to identify early signs of memory change. Early detection allows for timely interventions, appropriate specialist referrals, and planning conversations that keep everyone informed and prepared.

Bone Health and Osteoporosis

Bone density decreases with age, raising fracture risk. We monitor bone health, recommend appropriate screening, and work with patients on prevention and treatment. That may include nutrition guidance, weight-bearing exercise, vitamin D supplementation, and medications when appropriate.

Coordination with Specialists

Older adults often see multiple specialists - cardiologists, endocrinologists, orthopedic surgeons. We serve as the central point of contact, coordinating care so that nothing falls through the cracks. One primary care practice that understands the complete picture helps avoid conflicting treatments and keeps your care plan on track.

Medicare Annual Wellness Visits

If you have Medicare, you may be eligible for an Annual Wellness Visit at no additional cost. This preventive visit focuses on a personalized prevention plan, reviewing your health risks, and updating screenings. Learn more on our Medicare Annual Wellness Visit page.

Advance Care Planning

Conversations about future care preferences are an important part of geriatric medicine. We provide a supportive space to discuss advance directives, healthcare proxies, and end-of-life wishes. These conversations are not about giving up - they are about making sure your voice is heard and your family knows your preferences. Read more about advance care planning.
