A 75+ Health Assessment is a thorough check-up specifically designed for Patients aged 75 and older. It helps us understand your overall health and catch any potential issues early. This assessment covers everything from physical health to mental well-being and ensures that you’re getting the right care to stay healthy and active.

During the assessment, we will:

• Review your medical history.

• Check your blood pressure, heart rate and other vital signs.

• Discuss your medications to ensure they’re still the best options for you.

• Look at your mental health, including how you’re feeling emotionally.

• Talk about your lifestyle, including diet and exercise, to see if any changes could benefit you.

The assessment usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes. We want to make sure we cover everything thoroughly, but we also respect your time. If you need a break or have any concerns during the appointment, we can adjust as needed.

No, there is no out-of-pocket cost for you. Your Doctor will bulk bill this appointment, so everything is covered under Medicare.

Please bring any medications you’re currently taking, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements. If you have any recent medical records or test results from other doctors, those are helpful too. And of course, bring any questions or concerns you have about your health - we’re here to help.

It’s great if you’re feeling well! The assessment is a way to keep you feeling that way. Even if you’re in good health, this check-up helps us catch any potential issues early, before they become bigger problems. It’s all about staying ahead of the game.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring a family member, friend or carer with you to the appointment. Having someone else there can be helpful, especially if you want support or if they help you with your healthcare.

If it's difficult for you to come in, lets discuss your options. Our goal is to make sure you get the care you need in the easiest way possible.

Doctors recommend you have this assessment once a year. Regular check-ups help us keep track of your health and make any adjustments to your care. Annual assessments are a good way to make sure you stay on top of your health.

If you have other health concerns, the assessment is a great time to talk about them. We can address any issues you’re worried about and make sure you’re getting the right care. If needed, we can also refer you to other specialists or arrange for further tests.
