The Senior Health Center is a nationally recognized comprehensive care center and research and education facility. Its dedicated staff of geriatricians, nurses, and social workers offer both inpatient and outpatient care in memory assessment, geriatric assessment, fall assessment, palliative care, social work services, and neuropsychology assessments. The care model is built around four focus areas: What Matters (aligning care with each patient's specific health outcome goals and care preferences), Medication (using medications that do not interfere with What Matters, Mobility, or Mentation), Mentation (preventing, identifying, treating, and managing dementia, depression, and delirium across all settings of care), and Mobility (ensuring safe movement to maintain function and preserve independence). The team-based approach involves providers and social workers collaborating directly with each patient and their care partners, including family, friends, or other caregivers, to develop a customized plan that adds an extra layer of support beyond everyday primary care. The team is known for advances made in the study of aging and the science of geriatric medicine.

Through its Post-Acute Care Division, the Senior Health team works closely with area nursing homes, skilled nursing units, and assisted living facilities to provide transitional care for older patients leaving the hospital, helping them transition home or to the appropriate level of care. Palliative consult services are also available at many of these area facilities, with senior health experts collaborating with palliative care teams to offer relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious conditions.
