Elder Care
A Resource for Providers
Fact sheets are in pdf format, and will require Adobe Reader to view.
Thank you for selecting Arizona Program in Applied Geriatrics Elder Care Provider Fact Sheets. Our compendium of engaging single page, practical, evidence-based Provider Fact Sheets synthesize key concepts in common geriatric syndromes and common diseases in older adults. Replete with screening and assessment tools and treatment gems, these sheets reinforce sound geriatric practice in an approachable format. Provider Fact Sheets are reviewed annually by the series editors, an Informationist who is Board Certified in Family Practice and Geriatrics, and an Internist who is Board Certified in Geriatrics. We encourage you to add your own brand (logo) on the upper right hand corner to make these yours. We also invite you to contact us to suggest new topics, or to let us know if you discover any inadvertent errors on our part. Enjoy!
