Elizabeth Landsverk MD

Her work with Alzheimer’s as well as vascular dementia, Lewy Body, Frontal, Alcoholic, Brain Injury dementia has helped thousands lead engaged, comfortable lives at home or in supportive communities.
She authored Living in the Moment: Overcoming Challenges and Finding Moments of Joy in Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias 
for a step-by-step guide to the messy parts of dementia from strange behavior before a diagnosis, the effect meds can have, making elders look worse and how to get better, crucial resources, addressing financial abuse, what hospice should provide and care for the caregiver.
She graduated from Stanford University, and trained at Cambridge Hospital, Harvard University and Mt. Sinai Medical School. Having been board-certified in Internal Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, and Palliative Care Medicine, Dr Liz was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of California, San Francisco, as well as consultant to the San Francisco Elder Abuse Forensics Center.
Dr Liz has developed online education, support, and community for People over 50. Staying strong, independent, and avoiding dementia is a concern for all of us. Dr Liz shares scientific findings, her seasoned experience in overcoming challenges, in a place to discuss dilemmas and find support. From dating over 50, to osteoporosis (top of mind for me), to medications, decreasing risks of heart attacks or dementia, to combating financial abuse; Dr Liz Geriatrics has resources on the messy topics not covered in most sites.
Finding a primary care doctor is tough these days. Finding one of the 3500 practicing geriatricians is much tougher. Finding a geriatrician who works to minimize medications, relieve pain and calm agitation without sedation is hitting the jackpot.
We are here for you.
We work with ElderCare Professionals looking for guidance and online training to address challenging care for elders and people with dementia, as well as family members and caregivers wanting to learn more and get tips for the tough patches on the caregiving journey.
Dr Liz has pivoted from a house calls practice to TeleHealth for Seniors. Her father is over 90 and living in Florida, she spends more time traveling these days but is available to elders and their families/care team to address the unexpected in the comfort of their home (even when that is a facility).
Her expertise built over 20 years of practice can help relieve aggression, pain, help avoid the emergency room for many situations as well as provide an urgent appointment to start care for a problem before it becomes an emergency. Available in California.
Working with nurses and caregivers as the eyes and ears to alert Dr Liz of concerning symptoms, she is available to address the elders’ needs when they happen instead of waiting for an appointment three weeks from now.
Dr Liz works with a vetted team of experts to provide top-notch care. Together, they have decades of experience and deep knowledge of eldercare.
