Geriatrics

Transitioning to a skilled care, long-term care, assisted living or memory care facility does not mean you have to leave your primary care provider.

Mercy Geriatrics providers can see you if your MercyCare family doctor cannot, maintaining communication with your healthcare team.

Because you’ve chosen Mercy as your medical home, our team can see you at any facility you choose. This keeps your medical records together, building the foundation for the best care possible.
