Our Approach
Co-morbidity, meaning the coexistence of more than one illness or condition, is the rule rather than the exception among mentally or physically impaired older adults. For a younger person a single disease is likely to be the sole cause of disability. Cure the disease and you eliminate the disability. However, in late life the presence of co-morbidity, chronic conditions, and frailty requires an approach less focused on a cure and more focused on optimal functioning.
