If you or a loved one has noticed forgetfulness or problems with thinking, a cognitive assessment, along with a general health and medication review will help to clarify the issue and identify what can be done to help. 

  If you are slower or less steady on your feet, or have already experienced falls, I can help find ways to optimise your physical condition, minimise harmful medication and limit the risk of injury and loss of independence.

  Bathroom troubles need not be an inevitable part of ageing. I am experienced in the medical management of incontinence and constipation.

  If you are unsure of what types of community services that you need, or how to go about accessing them, I can help you navigate the system and am very happy to help with “My Aged Care” referral for her patients. 

  Do you know who will make decisions for you if you are too unwell to make them yourself? Have you told your loved ones what your wishes for your future care are? These conversations can be hard, but being prepared can make a great difference to your family if they are faced with making difficult choices  for you when you are very  ill.

I can do all types of Capacity Assessment and assist in cases that may require referral to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal – Guardianship Division.
