Geriatric Connections Assessment
Supporting Independence and Quality of Life for Older Adults in Jackson Hole
Are you noticing changes in a loved one’s memory, balance, mood, or ability to manage daily life? These shifts can be subtle and hard to evaluate on your own. The Geriatric Connections Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to get a clear picture of an older adult’s physical, cognitive, and emotional health and to build a plan that supports their safety, independence, and wellbeing.
How It Works
The assessment is conducted by a team of providers from St. John’s Health, including a physician or nurse practitioner, a speech-language pathologist, an occupational therapist, and a social worker. Together, they evaluate:
Assessment areas:
- Memory, thinking, and judgment
- Balance, mobility, and fall risk
- Mood and emotional wellbeing
- Daily functioning and self-care
- Medication management
- Nutrition and weight changes
- Vision, hearing, and continence
- Living situation and social support
- Goals of care and advance care preferences
After the assessment:
After the evaluation, the team works together to design a personalized plan of care, one that’s tailored to your loved one’s specific needs and focused on helping them live as safely and independently as possible.
