The Access Geriatric Health Program (AGH) provides care and support to patients who are frail, elderly or have complex medical needs. A team of health professionals works closely with the family physician to provide comprehensive care for both urgent and ongoing needs.
The team can assess for a range of medical, social and psychological concerns such as:
• Safety (e.g., hazards, medications)
• Function and mobility (falls, transportation)
• Health and nutrition (diet, pain control, chronic disease management)
• Mental health (cognitive function, depression)
• Psychosocial issues (family support, abuse/neglect)
Services may be delivered in a medical or community clinic, in the patient’s home, at the Calgary West Central Primary Care Clinic, or by telephone.
THE TEAM: Nurses, Pharmacist, Family Physicians, Social Worker, Psychologist, Dietitian
CONTACT: Consult your family physician or nurse for more information.
