    Senior Care Tailored to Your Needs

    As you grow older, your healthcare needs change. Like many older adults, you may enjoy an active and vigorous lifestyle. Yet you may be encountering specific challenges that can be made easier with help from a dedicated healthcare team, from managing a chronic health condition to determining the best living situation for your age and ability.

    At Palo Alto Medical Foundation, we offer a range of programs and resources designed to help you age with as much vitality, independence and dignity as possible and enhance the quality of your life.

    Depending on your goals, geriatric specialists work closely with you, your family and your other doctors to ensure that your medical, social and emotional needs are met. We help you stay physically active and independent in your community, and we offer additional support coordinating with caregivers if you have in-home care or choose to live in a continuing-care facility.

    We also make it a priority to support your family members and friends who help care for you by providing easy access to health information and support services. For example, PAMF’s Successful Aging Shared Medical Appointment series, for those age 65 and older, brings together people on the aging journey to help develop preventive and proactive approaches to aging successfully. Through our internet-based service, My Health Online, family members can email doctors, check test results and participate in your care. We also collaborate with some retirement communities, nursing homes and continuing care facilities.
