What is Geriatric Medical Care?
—and Why It Matters More Than Ever
Every older adult has a unique combination of values and health concerns. That’s where a geriatrician comes in. At Dahlia Physician Housecalls, we specialize in concierge primary care for seniors- bringing personalized medical care tailored to what matters most to you directly to your home. But what exactly is geriatric care, and how is it different from regular primary care?
What Is Geriatric Medical Care?
Geriatric medical care is a specialized field of medicine focused on the unique health needs of older adults. It’s not just about treating chronic illnesses—it’s about understanding how aging affects the body, the mind, and everyday life. A geriatric doctor is trained to care for patients with multiple conditions, including cognitive changes like dementia, difficulty doing day to day activities, and simplifying medication regimens.
At Dahlia, our care goes beyond the exam room. We take the time to understand the full picture—medical history, living situation, goals of care, and family dynamics—so we can make recommendations that actually fit your life.
Why Choose Home-Based Geriatric Care?
We believe that the best care happens where patients feel most comfortable: at home. Our house call doctor model eliminates the need for stressful trips to the doctor’s office. We offer:
In-home visits for chronic disease management, and urgent issues
Personalized care plans built around your values and goals
Medication reviews and deprescribing when appropriate
Caregiver support and help navigating home health, hospice, and more
We specialize in personalized senior care in Houston, designed to support older adults and their families through every stage of aging.
How Is Concierge Geriatric Care Different?
Unlike traditional practices, Dahlia Physician Housecalls is a membership-based model, meaning we see fewer patients so we can spend more time with each one. This allows us to:
Offer same or next-day house calls
Be available by phone, text, or video
Build real relationships with patients and their families
Provide routine, regularly scheduled exams focused on chronic conditions and wellness
Focus on what matters most—not just what's covered by insurance
Geriatric Care That Honors the Whole Person
Geriatric care isn’t just about age—it’s about stage. Whether you're dealing with memory loss, falls, multiple medications, or just trying to stay independent, you deserve care that’s as thoughtful as it is thorough.
