Elderly individuals who are experiencing memory problems, suffer a complex array of physical problems, or have social situations complicating their health status, can benefit most from a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Elders who have problems with depression or incontinence are also candidates for a geriatric assessment. Sometimes, specific health issues are not as significant as the problems people experience managing their daily activities. Individuals and their families often seek an assessment to assist with making difficult decisions about the future.
