Comprehensive Geriatric Care — Every Condition, Every Complexity, Every Stage of Aging
Full-spectrum medical management for the conditions that matter most to older adults — at our Lansdowne and Reston locations.
Aging rarely brings just one challenge. Most older adults are managing several conditions simultaneously — and the way those conditions interact with each other, and with the medications treating them, is where care either succeeds or falls short. At VPMC, our geriatric care team is built for exactly that complexity. We don’t manage conditions in isolation. We manage the whole person.
Our care team provides expert diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management across the full spectrum of conditions that commonly affect older adults — including those that other practices refer out too quickly, manage too passively, or simply don’t have the geriatric experience to handle well.
Cardiovascular Health — Heart disease, hypertension, high and low blood pressure, and stroke prevention managed with careful attention to the unique cardiovascular risks of aging, including orthostatic hypotension, arrhythmias, and the delicate balance between effective treatment and fall risk.
Metabolic & Endocrine Conditions — Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, hypothyroidism, and metabolic syndrome managed with geriatric-appropriate targets — because aggressive blood sugar control that’s right for a 45-year-old can be dangerous for a 75-year-old.
Bone & Joint Health — Osteoporosis, arthritis, and bone health managed with fracture risk assessment, medication optimization, calcium and vitamin D protocols, and exercise guidance to maintain strength and density.
Respiratory Health — COPD and chronic respiratory conditions managed with inhaler optimization, pulmonary monitoring, exacerbation prevention, and coordination with pulmonology for complex cases.
Cognitive & Mental Health — Dementia, depression, anxiety, and age-related cognitive changes addressed with the compassion and clinical depth they deserve — including caregiver support and coordination with neurology and behavioral health specialists.
Infection Prevention — UTI prevention and management, pneumonia and flu vaccination, and infection monitoring, with particular attention to the atypical ways infections present in older adults, where a UTI can look like sudden confusion rather than classic symptoms.
Fall Prevention — Comprehensive fall risk assessment, medication review, balance and gait evaluation, and strength rebuilding — because a fall is never “just a fall” in an older adult. It’s a medical event that demands investigation and prevention.
Chronic Care Management — For patients with two or more chronic conditions, our structured Chronic Care Management program provides monthly care coordination between visits, ongoing medication review, specialist communication, and regular check-ins from your care team — keeping you connected, supported, and out of the emergency room.
Whatever you’re managing, whatever combination of conditions and complications you’re navigating — our team has the experience, the time, and the clinical depth to manage it well.
