Clinical Services at Rush When Is Geriatric Assessment a Good Idea?
Program Description

To help you determine whether an assessment can be helpful for you or your loved one, we’ve listed some questions for you to answer:

  • Has there been a diagnosis for which you want a second opinion?
  • Is there concern about memory loss or confusion?
  • Have there been falls?
  • Has there been a decline in the ability to do something that previously was done well?
  • Has there been an unexplained weight loss?
  • Has there been a sudden change in you or your loved one, such as a withdrawal from usual activities?
  • Has there been an unexplained personality change?
  • Have there been problems with urinary control?
  • Are medications ineffective or difficult to manage? Are you concerned about the dosages?
  • Do you feel that you or your loved one can no longer manage the household but want to continue living at home?

If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, a comprehensive assessment may be beneficial to you or your loved one.
