The goal is to enhance the quality of care provided to the significant population of elderly citizens in the community, including those in local nursing homes, in senior housing/assisted living residences and in their own homes. The program continually seeks to develop new programs and services to meet the needs of the geriatric population. The Geriatrics Program is under the direction of Dr. Virginia Cummings, who is also the Director of Long-Term Care at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and a member of the faculty of Harvard Medical School. Geriatric Nurse Practitioners Roxanne Musto and Maureen O’Shea assist many nursing facilities in the area to improve the quality of nursing care delivered to our seniors. Allen Waltman, M.D., who recently joined our geriatrics staff, is the Medical Director of the Wellness Center at Orchard Cove, a Canton retirement community. He plans to start a Geriatric Home Care program in Milton and neighboring communities, and also sees patients at Milton Hospital for geriatric consulation and geriatric primary care. In addition to Drs. Waltman and Cummings, a number of our primary care physicians have elected to join the geriatrics program. These physicians are interested in expanding their geriatric practices and are welcoming referrals of senior citizens. They have access to all of the resources of the Geriatrics Programs at Milton Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and they are participating in an educational curriculum taught by Harvard Geriatricians, to ensure that the care they deliver to seniors meets the highest academic standards.
