Summary
This pilot study tests a program that screens older dialysis patients for common age-related problems like falls, memory trouble, and medication issues. A geriatrics team then gives personalized recommendations to the dialysis clinic. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and can improve how these problems are managed. The study involves 120 participants aged 55 and older who live in the community.
