Geriatricians & Senior Primary Care: Medical Support That Understands Aging

As we age, our medical needs become more complex—and the right doctor can make all the difference. Whether it’s managing chronic conditions, supporting memory and mobility, or simply scheduling a yearly physical, older adults deserve a provider who understands the unique aspects of aging.

LumaLink connects you with geriatricians and primary care doctors who specialize in senior-focused care. Chat with Luma by phone or text to get help finding the proper medical support for yourself or a loved one.

Why Choose a Doctor Who Specializes in Senior Health?

Doctors who work with older adults bring experience, patience, and a deeper understanding of how aging impacts everything from medications to memory. A geriatrician or senior primary care provider can:

• Coordinate care for multiple chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis
• Help manage memory decline and screen for cognitive changes
• Provide ongoing support for mobility issues and fall prevention
• Monitor bone health and order bone density tests
• Conduct blood pressure checks, cholesterol screenings, and complete blood work for overall health
• Review and simplify medications to avoid side effects and confusion
• Schedule and complete routine annual physicals or yearly check-ups

Common Reasons to See a Senior-Focused Doctor

• “I need a PCP for my mom who understands aging.”
• “My dad has diabetes and memory loss—who can help with both?”
• “We’re due for a yearly physical and don’t know where to start.”
• “I want a doctor who listens and doesn’t rush my parents’ appointment.”
