Primary Care

For many patients in our area, access to a primary care physician remains a challenge. Without this continuity of care, patients and families often struggle to manage chronic medical conditions and may feel that their care lacks coordination. With this in mind we offer primary care through our clinic to patients over 55 without a current primary care provider. Patients seeking primary care through Blount Senior Care Partners should expect care that is individualized, accessible, and focused on maximizing function and quality of life.

Patients being cared for by our providers in the hospital or skilled nursing facility can arrange a new patient visit at time of discharge. Patients new to our practice should call our clinic to arrange an appointment.

Continence Care

We now offer PTNS, or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, for men and women with overactive bladder, urgency, and/or urge incontinence. The treatment is a gentle and gradual way to modify the nerve signals from the bladder to the brain, helping patients to go to the bathroom less and have fewer accidents.

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)

A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment can help identify areas in which a senior may need further support currently and can also help an individual and his or her family plan for the future. Common Issues Addressed are:

• Polypharmacy (effects of taking 5 or more medications)
• Impairments of vision, hearing, and dentition
• Transitions from home to Assisted Living or Nursing Home
• Advanced Care Planning (i.e. Living Wills and Goals of Care)

Transitional Care

Transitioning from one site of care to another poses one of the biggest challenges and risks to seniors in modern healthcare, whether it’s confusion about medication changes, unexpected home medical equipment needs, or changes in clinical status. Blount Senior Care Partners aims to help patients make a smooth transition home from the hospital or skilled nursing facility.

Following discharge, Blount Senior Care Partners can provide a Transition Visit, a clinic visit soon after discharge, to ensure a smooth transition back to primary care providers or to provide ongoing medical care for those without an established provider in the community.
