Elderly

Our goal is to provide patients with a medical home. We build our services to meet the needs of our patients and surround them with the care and resources they need to live healthy and full lives. All physicians serving our adult population are Board Certified in either Family Practice or Internal Medicine.

AMSHO: Adult Medical Services at Hotel Oakland (AMSHO) is a satellite clinic of AHS that is uniquely situated within the same building as two adult day health centers and provides much of the chronic as well as urgent care needs of those elderly who attend the centers, as well as elderly who may come from other parts of the area. Therefore, AMSHO services are designed to meet the health care needs of elderly patients. AMSHO, with its smaller, more intimate care setting and its caring and dedicated staff, strives to provide comprehensive care to ambulatory adult and elderly patients, and aims for timely identification and monitoring of particular elders at risk and those with debilitating disorders.
