Senior Health

Dr. Genovese’s medical training includes geriatrics expertise. As your primary care physician, Dr. Genovese’s training in senior care provides you and your senior loved one with the most comprehensive medical evaluation and care available. Caring for your senior family members often requires the expertise of a dedicated primary care physician who can diagnosis sometimes less obvious symptoms for failing health in seniors, like decreased interest in eating.

Good nutrition is critical to overall health and well-being. Older adults often have health problems, such as chronic ailments and illnesses including COPD, joint pain, osteoarthritis or arthritis and headaches or even dental issues that can lead to decreased appetite or trouble eating. Other factors that might play a role in declining health are joint pain or the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. The use of certain medications, sometimes prescribed for pain management and other long-term conditions, may impact on appetite or a diminished sense of smell or taste. Even small dietary changes can make a big difference in an older adult’s health and well-being.

Genovese is available to discuss your concerns for the health of all of the family members in your life and recommends annual physicals once a year as your loved one advances in age. Dr. Genovese may recommend vaccines preventing flu and shingles and can advise on additional preventive and safety measures to protect and extend the healthy lifestyle of your aging loved one. Dr. Genovese is your family’s medical expert, providing personal and medical care for your senior loved one.

Vaccines

In her training as a primary care medical physician, Dr. Genovese’s evidence based technical knowledge and medical studies support immunizations. Vaccines have had enormous impact on improving the health of children and adults in the United States. Fortunately, most people in the United States have never seen first-hand the devastating consequences that vaccine-preventable diseases have on a family or community. While these diseases are not common in the U.S., they persist around the world. Dr. Genovese believes how important it is to reach every child and adult and advises her patients according to the Centers of Disease Control recommendations to follow CDC guidelines for immunizations. At Genovese Family Medicine, Dr. Genovese believes it is important to protect the three generations of family members she cares for and the surrounding community she serves, from preventable diseases.
