Southern Maine Geriatrics Associates - provides specialized medical services for the elderly and provides certified medical guidance on nursing care facilities and living support facilities in the south and central Maine. We apply our practice to residents' needs in skilled nursing care life and special nursing home environment.

Our doctors work with nurse practitioners to provide more services to the providers of useful care. Long-term care collaboration practice research like us has confirmed very poor care and shows very low percentage of emergency room visits and hospitalization (up to 75%). Patients, families, and staff are more satisfied with this model than traditional living physician models.

Our goal of improving the health, health and medical quality of the elderly in Maine is targeted at the elderly in Maine. As we have seen, the Gerontological Medicine Department at the Main Medical Center focuses on meeting the unique needs of the elderly. Healthy and active lifestyle. We understand the importance of maintaining good health with age and promise to provide family-centered therapy to improve the quality of life for you and the people you love.

Main geriatric medicine sets criteria for providing care facilities for elderly care. We will cooperate with special nursing home for nursing homes and nursing homes and share our overall caring philosophy with excellence efforts. The elderly leadership in the special nursing home for the elderly is considered an important requirement to support the implementation of the latest scientific aging knowledge that improves the quality and affects the lives of residents. We maintain ongoing care through strong relationships with the resources of many communities and our high respect for the quality of care.

Elderly trauma patients show many unique features. In many cases older patients have multiple comorbidities that increase the risk of severe disability and death (Bonne & Schuerer, 2013). Due to these medical conditions, elderly patients are more likely to take more than one medicine and may pretend to respond to injuries (Bonne & Schuerer, 2013). In addition, these existing conditions may degrade the patient's ability to avoid injury, even if the injury mechanism is small. However, improving existing treatment guidelines can help increase the proportion of elderly injured patients who can restore baseline activity in their daily lives (Bonne & Schuerer, 2013)

In July 2007, the American Medical Association (AAMC) and John A. Hartford Foundation held a national consensus conference on the capacity of the elderly, ie graduation, to reach an agreement on minimum abilities (learning outcomes). Medical students need to be able to ensure that new interns are available to take care of older patients.
