Senior Care Primary Care Physicians and Locations
Many older adults have discovered that a geriatrician (a physician specializing in the care of older adults) brings knowledge and experience that can make a big difference in your health and wellness. Wheaton Franciscan Senior Care has assembled a world-class team of geriatricians to offer the best primary care for older adults.
Our Services
Primary Care: Geriatricians are expert in dealing with multiple medical problems and chronic illness such as Alzheimer's, arthritis, chronic heart and lung disease as well as other age-related conditions. They use a holistic approach to address the physical, psychological and social problems surrounding the patient and family. Our Wheaton Franciscan Medical Group Geriatricians and Internists will also scrutinize the often-large number of medications older adults take to ensure that they are appropriate and not causing serious adverse side effects.
