Specialized geriatrics clinic services to support healthy and independent aging
The Geriatrics clinic at Schroeder Ambulatory Centre provides a comprehensive range of non-surgical services to help patients and caregivers navigate common issues that come up as we age. Led by leading Gerontologist Dr. Fabio Varlese, the clinic provides a variety of outpatient care programs for older adults who may be dealing with cognitive or physical challenges, as well as compassionate supports for caregivers. Our goal is to help older adults maintain independence, improve their quality of life and support ageing in place through personalized, coordinated care.
Appointments are available in person, virtually or by phone.
Refer a Patient
Physicians can refer to Schroeder Ambulatory Centre by e-referral, fax, phone, or email. Our team will review the request and connect with your patient to coordinate the next steps for their appointment.
Collaborative care for older adults’ cognitive and physical health
Schroeder Ambulatory Centre is currently working to establish a formal collaborative relationship with Baycrest, which would facilitate seamless referrals for patients to access programs and services available at both facilities. Our expert team of nurses, physicians and patient support staff work together with patients and families to develop care plans tailored to the individual, empowering them to age with dignity and in a way that promotes optimal cognitive function, physical health and independence.
Why choose Schroeder Ambulatory Centre for geriatric care?
Our clinic is located in a brand new fully accessible 7-storey facility equipped with amenities and the most advanced technology for the diagnosis and treatment of aging issues. The Centre also has a full range of other clinics, including pain management, neurology, urology and primary care, all located on the same floor.
