From osteoporosis and memory loss to diabetes, hypertension and incontinence, health problems increase as we age. Baylor understands the special health care needs of seniors and offers four specialized centers dedicated to senior heath. Conveniently located in Garland, Mesquite and two in Dallas, these centers deliver primary care by teams of physician geriatricians on the medical staff at Baylor and health care professionals committed to improving senior health.
The Baylor Senior Health Centers and the Baylor Geriatrics Center serve patients 55 and older with selected insurances and 65 and older with Medicare Parts A and B. New patients receive a thorough assessment that includes a variety of tests for conditions that can affect us as we age including memory loss, osteoporosis, hypertension and incontinence. Many procedures are available onsite.
The health care team at each center includes dietitians, social workers and chaplains who can help seniors and their families understand and assist to changing health needs. Our teams also feature bilingual staff members to make sure each patient understands their medical care.
