What is senior care?

Senior care, also called geriatric care, is a highly specialized area of medicine that manages the health of older adults. As you get older, you're at increased risk of chronic health conditions. It’s not unusual for older adults to have two or more chronic health issues and take multiple prescription medications.

Senior care manages these complex health issues and prescribes medications to treat them. They also help their patients and caregivers get additional services to maintain their health and independence.

Su Clinica Medical Group is a primary, general, and chronic care management practice with providers specializing in senior care. The experienced and skilled team also includes Spanish-speaking providers who care for the senior Hispanic and Latino community.

I’m 65. Do I need senior care?

You may benefit from senior care at Su Clinica Medical Group if you’re 65 and have multiple health issues that affect your quality of life. However, not everyone needs senior care when they reach retirement age. 

Senior care primarily manages older adults with health issues that make it challenging to partake in daily life. 

Su Clinica Medical Group also assists caregivers and family members managing the complex health needs of their older relatives. The primary care practice takes most PPO health insurance plans, as well as patients with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Covered California™. 

They also see private pay patients.
