Geriatric Care
Geriatric Care for Older Adults in Coomera
As we get older, our health needs become more individual, and having a doctor who understands them makes a real difference. At Coomera Town Medical Centre, we provide caring, respectful health care for older adults, with a focus on supporting health, independence and quality of life. We are conveniently located inside Westfield Coomera and open 7 days a week.
From regular health assessments and managing ongoing conditions to medication reviews and coordinating care, our doctors support older patients and their families with understanding and patience.
Supporting Health, Independence and Wellbeing
Ageing well is about more than treating illness. It is about staying active, independent and connected for as long as possible. Our team takes the time to understand each patient as an individual, considering their physical health, wellbeing and personal goals, and providing care that respects their dignity and choices.
What Is Geriatric Care?
Geriatric care is health care focused on the needs of older adults. It takes account of the fact that older people often live with more than one health condition, take several medications, and may face challenges such as reduced mobility or memory changes. The aim is to look at the whole person and provide coordinated, practical support. Where more specialised input is needed, your doctor can refer you to a geriatrician or other specialist.

Health Assessments for Patients Aged 75 and Over
People aged 75 and over are eligible for a comprehensive health assessment, which is generally available once a year. This assessment looks at your overall health and wellbeing, identifies any concerns, and helps put the right support in place. It is a valuable opportunity to take stock of your health and plan ahead. Our reception team can help you arrange one.
: Support With Aged Care and My Aged Care
Navigating aged care services can feel confusing. Our doctors can support you and your family with this process, including assessments and referrals where appropriate, and can help explain how services such as My Aged Care work. We aim to make the path clearer so you can access the support you need.
Support for Families and Carers
Caring for an older loved one can be both rewarding and demanding. We recognise the important role families and carers play, and we welcome them in supporting a patient’s care, with the patient’s consent. If you are caring for someone, our team can help you understand their health and the options available.
What to Expect
Our doctors take a patient, unhurried approach. At your appointment, your doctor will take time to understand your health history, current concerns and goals, and explain things clearly. We are happy for a family member or carer to be present if you would like, and we make sure you are involved in decisions about your own care.
