➤ Why is a comprehensive geriatric assessment important?
A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) evaluates medical issues, cognition, mood, nutrition, mobility, falls risk, medications, and social supports. It finds reversible problems, guides individualized care plans, and sets realistic goals like maintaining ADLs and independence. CGA lowers readmissions and improves medication safety and function.
