Geriatrics
We serve our community's older adults who have complex medical conditions.
Just as you may be referred to a cardiologist for heart care, you may be referred to Geriatric Care for help to improve your function, enhance your quality of life and maintain your independence.

How Geriatric Care Can Help
Serving ages 65+
You must be a resident of King County Public Hospital District No. 2, which includes Bothell, Duvall, Kenmore, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish and Woodinville.
Our experienced geriatric team will assess your medical conditions, cognitive status, functional ability and mental health needs to determine the best care for you.
Then we'll work in partnership with you, your family and your other health care providers to put a care plan into place.
We also work with hospitalized older adults, and we're able to reduce their hospital readmission rates because we partner with them, their families, their primary care physicians and other medical specialists to ensure a smooth transition from hospitalization to recovery.
