Medicare preventive planning
What Is Included in a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit?
A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is a yearly prevention planning visit covered by Part B, and it is different from a routine physical exam. According to Medicare.gov, it includes a health risk assessment, a history and prescription review, blood pressure, a cognitive assessment, and a written prevention plan. You pay nothing when your provider accepts assignment, although added services may have costs. Westlight Medical Group accepts Medicare and offers this visit in Anaheim, CA.
Coordinated medication management
How Are Chronic Conditions and Medications Managed for Seniors in Anaheim, CA?
Chronic conditions in older adults are best managed through coordinated care that checks how conditions and medications interact. Many seniors live with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, COPD, or arthritis at once. Taking several medications, called polypharmacy, is a significant risk for older adults. Dr. Wadhwa reviews medications at every chronic care and wellness visit to find harmful interactions, potentially inappropriate drugs, and chances to simplify, which can help with energy, mental clarity, and fall risk.
Early cognitive screening
How Is Memory Checked at a Senior Primary Care Visit?
Memory is checked with short, validated screening tools that look at memory, attention, and executive function. Early detection gives families more time to plan. When concerns appear, Dr. Wadhwa coordinates referrals to neurologists or memory care specialists while continuing to manage primary care. Family members are welcome at visits when the patient consents. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, facial drooping, or weakness on one side of the body can be signs of a stroke, so call 911 right away.
Fall prevention and mobility
How Can Older Adults in Orange County Lower Their Risk of Falls?
Older adults can lower fall risk with a routine assessment of medications, blood pressure, strength, balance, and home safety. According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults 65 and older, and about 1 in 4 older adults report a fall each year. Westlight Medical Group checks fall risk for every senior patient in Anaheim, CA during routine primary care visits. A typical assessment may include:
