Straub Benioff Medical Center – Geriatrics Clinic is a specialty consultation clinic for adults ages 75 years and older. The clinic is conveniently located on S. Hotel Street directly across from Straub Benioff Medical Center.
Our multidisciplinary team specializes in assessing and managing the complex physical and cognitive health issues common in older adults. We also help patients who are receiving geriatric care reduce health risks and make care decisions that reflect their personal values.
Our team is made up of fellowship-trained geriatricians, a social worker and experienced clinical support staff who work in conjunction with a patient’s primary care provider to provide high-quality, personalized care.

GUIDE Model Program
Beginning July 1, 2025, our clinic will be participating in the GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model. This voluntary nationwide test is funded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to enhance quality of care for people living with dementia and their unpaid caregivers. The GUIDE Model aims to address key drivers of poor-quality dementia care in the following ways:
- Comprehensive assessment by a geriatrician, including standardized cognitive testing, quality-of-life assessment and measures of caregiver burden.
- Care navigation by a social worker, including caregiver education and support, referral for appropriate services, and regular follow up.
- Availability of a 24/7 telephone advice line.
- Referral for respite services, with availability of limited funds to help pay for these services.
GUIDE Model Program Referral process
Patients must be referred to our consultation clinic by their primary care provider. Patients interested in the GUIDE Model should call us at 808-532-6380 for more information.
