Geriatric Medicine SA – Outstanding Care for Older Patients
We are locally trained Geriatricians, specialising in the comprehensive care of older medical and surgical patients.
We provide care at these locations:
- Calvary Adelaide Hospital, Angas Street: rehabilitation admissions and geriatric/peri-operative consultations.
- Memorial Hospital: consultations only
- ECH College Grove, 18 North East Road: outpatient clinic
- Residential Aged Care Facilities
For patients requiring surgery, we are committed to working collaboratively with surgeons to ensure that the best possible outcomes can be achieved. Our process involves a comprehensive initial assessment with ongoing care throughout the hospital stay. For patients requiring transfer to Calvary Adelaide Hospital rehabilitation wards, we provide ongoing care throughout the rehabilitation admission. We will work closely with patients, their families and carers and hospital staff to assist with planning for discharge and future care needs.
