Scope
Aria Health specialises in the care of older people. We consult with older people for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) which includes a thorough assessment of medical problems, physical function, psychological health and social situation. We partner with and make recommendations to GPs to help optimise the health and quality of life of older people.
