Re: Physician for elderly mom
Hello - I work for Lifelong Medical (finance dept) which has two
geriatric clinics - the Over 60 clinics in Berkeley and in
Oakland. I am sorry you are having such trouble finding a
physician for your mother. It sounded like you were closer to
Berkeley so I would recommend the Over 60 Health Center in
Berkeley (3260 Sacramento). It has wonderful doctors who
specialize in working with the elderly and I am almost positive
they are taking new patients. Dr. Jacqui Richter & Dr. Floyd
Huen are wonderful - I am sure the other doctors are as well.
If interested call member services at 704-6010 (they register new patients) and they can sign you up and make an appointment for you. The best of luck to you! Anonymous
Re: Therapist who accepts Medi-Cal and/or Medicare (Jan 2003)
Lifelong (my employer)is a community health clinic which has a
clinic in Oakland and one in Berkeley which specialize in
geriatrics. We take Medicare & Medi-Cal. Although I am not
familiar with the schedules, I believe that both sites have
psychiatrists (at least part-time) and other folks who can offer
treatment for mental health issues for seniors.
Call 510-704-6010 and ask them for the phone numbers for either the Over 60 Clinic (on Sacramento) or the Foothill site in Oakland.
We have a wonderful, dedicated staff who take excellent care of their patients.
The very best to you & your mother. Depression is tough on everyone, not least of all the family members.
