If you are over 75 years of age, a comprehensive health assessment can help to identify any health risks as well as provide a basis for preventative care so that you can continue enjoying the best part of life. 

​

These health assessments have a particular focus on the following health aspects of an individual: 

​

• your blood pressure, pulse rate and rhythm;

• your current medication;

• continence functionality;

• your immunisation status for influenza, tetanus and pneumococcus;

• your physical functionality, including daily activities, exercise and whether or not you have experienced any falls within the past 3 months;

• your psychological health, including cognition and mood; and

• your social function and connection, including any volunteer work, community engagement, time with family, friends, pets, or even if you are caring for another person.
