Primary Care for Seniors
The healthcare requirements of individuals change throughout the various life stages. The needs experienced during adolescence are markedly different from those encountered at the age of 50. Complete Health, located in New Smyrna Beach, FL, recognizes this dynamic and offers senior primary care services specifically designed to address the needs of its patients.
As individuals age, the prevalence of chronic medical conditions increases, leading to increasingly complex treatment plans. Our senior healthcare services aim to enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction through comprehensive chronic care management programs and transitional care services.
In addition to delivering outstanding care for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and chronic respiratory issues, our primary care providers prioritize preventive care strategies. This integrated approach not only promotes overall health but also mitigates the risk of developing certain illnesses.
Best Doctors for Seniors
When selecting a healthcare provider, seniors should take the following factors into account.
- Verify whether the provider accepts Medicare and/or Medicare Advantage plans and is recognized as an in-network provider.
- Choose a medical facility that is conveniently located to minimize the inconvenience of frequent visits.
- Examine the office hours and the availability of care in case of emergencies that occur outside of standard business hours.
- Assess the options for online consultations, telemedicine services, and an online portal for easier access to medical records and healthcare services.
- Seek recommendations from friends and family, and evaluate each physician’s credentials and patient reviews to identify the most suitable doctor for your needs.
Our primary care practitioners in New Smyrna Beach are experienced in the needs of seniors and accept all Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. Our providers include Dr. G. Fredrick Herdel; Michael Thompson, PA; and Julee Holcomb, APRN.

Implementing a Senior Healthcare Plan
Every patient has unique healthcare needs and concerns; therefore, we work with each patient to develop individually tailored plans to assist in effectively managing their health conditions. Our senior healthcare initiatives employ evidence-based best practices for the care of older adults, which include:
- In-person consultations with our patient care representatives.
- Coordination of care within the primary care settings.
- Offering varying degrees of care tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
- Facilitating a smooth transition from hospitals to rehabilitation facilities and ultimately the return to home through our transitional care management program.
- Using electronic medical records enhances patient communication, minimizes redundancy, and aids in the identification of preventive care opportunities.
Numerous challenges arise in providing care to seniors, such as the financial implications of elder care, the prevalence of chronic health issues, and safety concerns in independent living environments. Our specialized senior care plans aim to mitigate many of these challenges by decreasing hospital admissions, lowering overall medical costs, and identifying community resources. Our senior services are designed to enhance patient outcomes and improve satisfaction with the healthcare experience.
Patient and Family Engagement
As people get older, family members start to have a bigger impact on their loved ones’ lives. That’s why we encourage families to take part in the decision-making process. When family members are involved, it can help clear up confusion and make the treatment safer and more effective.
We offer senior healthcare services that include informational resources and educational materials to keep families up to speed on various health issues and offer practical tips for caring for their aging relatives. Our care specialist is available to discuss additional care options and transportation needs for your loved one.
Using Technology to Improve Senior Healthcare
Technology has made it a lot easier for us to connect with our older patients, especially those who have trouble getting around or don’t drive. With telehealth appointments, our healthcare team can connect with patients without them leaving the comfort of their homes. Plus, our patient portal lets patients check their medical records, ask questions, or request medication refills whenever it fits into their schedule.
Technology has allowed seniors to enjoy a more independent and safer lifestyle, which also gives their families peace of mind. These include devices for managing medications, systems that detect falls and send out emergency alerts, and even adaptive utensils that make eating easier.
Measuring Success in Senior Healthcare
Maintaining an excellent senior primary care program is crucial for enhancing the lives of our patients. That’s why we employ a variety of assessment tools to continuously refine our program.
- We track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to make sure we’re hitting all our goals.
- Patient feedback and satisfaction surveys help us pinpoint where we can do better and allow us to adjust to the changing needs of our patients.
- Having continuous improvement strategies in place allows us to make adjustments to our program effectively and efficiently.
