Geriatrics: Specialized Care for Older Adults 
 
 
 
 
 

Des Peres Hospital specializes in geriatrics or older adult medicine. 

We provide a wide range of services designed for older adults, from routine medical and specialty physician appointments in our Senior Care Clinic to major hospital stays on our Acute Care for the Elderly (ACE) unit.  

At Des Peres Hospital's Senior Care Clinic, you can rest assured that you are receiving quality medical care in a convenient, simple setting. Everything you need, from general checkups to outpatient services, is available, making it easy for you to receive comprehensive care without traveling all over the city.

Our Senior Care Clinic arranges appointments with some of the St. Louis area's leading geriatricians.  Services include geriatric assessments, to review complete physical and mental health.  A registered nurse will coordinate all your care and will even arrange for complimentary transportation should you need it.*

For those who need in-patient care, Des Peres Hospital offers Acute Care for the Elderly (ACE).  Our team of specialists, including geriatricians, dietitians and therapists, focus on the special concerns of older patients.
