Why Choose Older Adult-Specific Care?
According to the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC), over 54 million Americans were over 65 in 2019 and that number will reach 25% of the total population of the United States by 2060.
A massive and growing population, older adults deserve treatment teams that understand issues specific to them, especially in the Las Vegas, Nevada, area.
Risks for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia increase with age, and medical professionals that know what to look for can make a big difference when seeking care.
Not just brain diseases, aging increases the chances of diabetes, heart conditions and certain types of cancer, too. The medical staff from Northern Nevada Medical Group are more than prepared to help older adults deal with issues specific to them and help them take positive steps forward.
