Senior Health

People today are living longer and better, thanks to healthier lifestyles and improved medical care. At MultiCare, we’re committed to being your partner in health, offering senior-focused medical services designed to help you maintain your health and quality of life.

Our supportive senior health services include:

• Adult Medical Consultation Services
• Eldercare Family Services
• All-inclusive care program for the elderly through Pacific Northwest PACE Partners

Adult Medical Consultation Services (AMCS) are available to older adults in southeast Pierce County (including Eatonville, Graham, Elbe and Mineral) who don’t have ready access to medical care. Our geriatric nurse practitioner provides clinical assessment and monitoring of older adults, connecting them with primary care providers or specialists as needed.

If you or a family member are having a problem with increased confusion, depression or an unstable disease state, we may be able to help.

For information about AMCS, call 253-435-7253.

Eldercare Family Services provides a variety of resources for older adults and their families to help manage challenges with performing daily activities.

Nursing and social work staff provide in-home assessments, help families find the care they need, and assist with navigating difficult decisions and care options. Patients have access to additional information by phone and through referral services at MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup and in the community.

Additional services include support groups, a library for people with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers, overnight respite services, and classes on caring for aging parents and those with dementia. The Dementia Family Support Project also provides in-home assessment and help to caregivers with a memory-impaired loved one.
