A comprehensive evaluation of the older adult by a team of health care professionals specializing in geriatrics (care of the older adult).

Since your health represents a combination of many complex factors, your Geriatric Assessment Team will gather information about health habits, lifestyle and living arrangements, home safety, and other aspects of your life. Social workers or nurses from the Geriatric Assessment team will examine these issues with you.

A geriatrician (a physician specializing in the care of the elderly) or geriatric nurse practitioner will conduct your physical examination, which includes a complete health history for you and your family.

Following your physical examination and information gathering, the physician may order additional tests, blood work or x-rays. These may be conducted immediately following your examination.

The Faint and Fall Center is located at Hunterdon Cardiovascular Associates and focuses on caring for patients who experience fainting and falling episodes. Falls that occur as a result of fainting spells are more common among older adults.

If you’ve had an episode of unexplained fainting or falling, you might be concerned that it could happen again at any moment. There are many possible reasons for fainting and falling, including cardiac conditions, neurological causes, metabolic disorders, and even stress. 

Consulting multiple physicians over a long period can lead to anxiety, unnecessary tests, and an increased risk of injury or hospitalization while waiting for appropriate treatment. The Faint and Fall specialists use recommended guidelines to order only the most appropriate tests for you, resulting in fewer unnecessary procedures, a much shorter time to diagnosis, and increased peace of mind. Our comprehensive approach to the evaluation and treatment of fainting and falling helps to reduce your risk of a faint or fall-related injury and prevent expensive inpatient hospital stays.

The Faint and Fall Program is located at:
Hunterdon Cardiovascular Associates
1100 Wescott Drive,  Suite G3
Flemington, NJ  08822
