Sudden changes in eating, energy, memory, or steadiness are rarely "just aging." They're usually a signal — sometimes medical, sometimes environmental, sometimes both. An RN in-home assessment can pinpoint what's actually changed, and what to do next.
Geriatricians group sudden decline into four categories. Most cases involve more than one, and many are reversible if caught early. Our RN assessment screens for all four — and refers out to a physician when warranted.
15-minute call to hear what you're noticing — when it started, what's different, what you've already tried.
60–90 minutes in the home. Cognitive screen, medication review, safety check, family interview.
You get a written report with what we found, what to ask the doctor, and care recommendations — yours to keep.
If home care helps, we build a plan. If something else is the right answer, we'll tell you that too.
Many sudden declines get dismissed at a 15-minute primary care visit. Bring this list — it covers the most common reversible causes we see in San Diego seniors.
Ask specifically: "What did you rule out?" Sudden decline over weeks or a few months is rarely normal aging. If you're not getting answers, our RN can do a fresh in-home assessment and help you advocate for the right workup.
Adult children are usually the first to notice sudden decline — and they're usually right. A free RN assessment will tell you what's actually happening, and what to do next.
