A request for a geriatric assessment would be appropriate when there are persistent or intermittent symptoms such as:
• memory loss
• confusion
• other signs of possible dementia
Often, what looks like Alzheimer’s or dementia can be the result of medication interactions or other medical or psychiatric problems. Because of the thoroughness of the geriatric assessment, it is one of the best ways to determine what the actual problem and cause is, or is not.
