Geriatric Primary Care in Colorado Springs, CO
At Abundance Health Care, aging is met with attention, not assumptions. Dr. La Tasha Bruner-Hill offers geriatric primary care services in Colorado Springs, helping older adults manage medications, cognitive health, and chronic conditions through annual Medicare wellness visits built around what matters most to you and your family.
Growing Older Shouldn't Mean Losing Your Voice in Your Care
Growing age can bring changes in memory, energy, mobility, medications, and overall health. Sometimes they happen gradually, making it difficult to know what is simply part of aging and what deserves attention. Having a provider who understands those changes can make a meaningful difference.
Dr. Tasha with her expert elderly care management in Colorado Springs takes time to look at the bigger picture, helping senior adults and their families understand what is changing, address concerns early, and make thoughtful decisions about the care ahead.
Geriatric Medicine Services We Offer
Our older adult primary care focuses on preventive care, cognitive health, and the ongoing management of conditions that commonly require more attention with age.
Annual Medicare Wellness Exams
An annual wellness visit gives you and Dr. Tasha an opportunity to step back and review your overall health. She discusses your medical history, current medications, vital signs, preventive needs, and areas that may deserve additional attention. For eligible patients with Medicare Part B, this visit can help create a clearer plan for staying proactive about your health.
Cognitive Assessments
Changes in memory and thinking can sometimes happen gradually, making them difficult to recognize at first. Cognitive screening provides an opportunity to establish a baseline, monitor changes over time, and determine whether additional evaluation or support may be appropriate. It also gives families a chance to have important conversations earlier rather than waiting for a crisis.
Chronic Care Management Program
Managing several health conditions at once can become complicated, especially when medications, nutrition, activity, and daily routines all play a role. Dr. Tasha provides chronic disease management for older adults with care tailored to the individual. Your conditions, lifestyle, dietary habits, medications, and goals are considered together so your care plan is practical as well as medically appropriate.
