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.”
