About this clinic

The Older Adult Outpatient Clinics at St. Paul’s Hospital and Mount Saint Joseph Hospital provide a team approach to care for older adults (65+) living in the Lower Mainland region. We provide support to older adults experiencing health changes that impact their physical, cognitive or social well-being. 

We complete detailed assessments and provide treatment options for issues such as: 

• Complex medical conditions 
• Memory and cognition 
• Mobility and balance 
• Medication optimization 
• Depression 
• Future planning 
• Nutrition 
• Continence 
• Dementia Caregiver Stress (link to Dementia Caregiver Resilience Clinic page) 

Your health care team may include: 

• Geriatric medicine doctors 
• Geriatric psychiatrists 
• Physiotherapists 
• Occupational therapists 
• Social workers 
• Continence nurses 
• Psychiatric nurses 
• Dieticians 
• Neuropsychologists

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. Deciding whether to take part in research is up to you with information provided by your care team. We have many research programs available. Please ask us if you want to learn more. 

Your participation in research can help us learn more about older adult care. It can help us find better ways to help people like you live and thrive. While you cannot expect any benefit to yourself, your participation can help care for future patients. 

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research. 

We accept referrals from family doctors, nurse practitioners or hospital-based doctors to see: 

• Geriatricians
