What We Do
What We Do
In the United States, with a population of 330 million, there are about 3,500 full-time practicing geriatricians. If you’ve seen one, you are lucky. Dr Liz, after a successful house call practice, has pivoted to develop an online platform for training and education for people over 50, as well as care of elders and those with dementia.
The DLG vision is to keep elders and people with dementia strong, healthy, independent and connected with their communities. This includes maintaining the mind-and-body wellbeing of their caregivers.
The DLG mission is to take our care team’s in-depth knowledge and experience and distill it into bite-sized relevant education aimed at caregivers in all areas of the eldercare spectrum — from the wife caring for her spouse, the independent adult concerned about aging, to the seasoned geriatric care nurse working on the front lines of dementia care. In addition, we aim to provide health, medical and social information for all over 50 — living well as we live longer.
DLG Community provides both family caregivers and eldercare professionals with discussion forums to address the challenges they face. DLG Community also includes support groups and Q&A sessions with Dr Liz. Coming soon!
After serving as an assistant professor of medicine at UC, San Francisco, as a consultant for the SF Elder Abuse Forensics Center and a hospice medical director, Dr Liz developed a booming house calls practice addressing the most challenging cases — either needing diagnosis and evaluation of capacity, addressing financial elder abuse, elders with too many doctors and medications, or difficult behaviors leading to issues like eviction and prolonged hospitalizations.
Most elders can find relief from pain, restore their quality of life, minimize medication, find protection from abuse and enjoy their days in the home or environment that’s right for them.
