Muller Institute for Senior Health

We’re honored to help seniors achieve and maintain healthy, enjoyable lives. Through our broad range of inpatient and outpatient, as well as home & community-based programs, we focus on helping each older adult attain the best functioning for physical and emotional well-being.

We understand that older adults have varying lifestyles and health conditions. Our patients, their families and caregivers know they can rely on us for the latest proven approaches that are right for each individual.

Innovative Medical Care and Services

Our team of caring specialists delivers the best diagnostic and treatment methods, and support in a welcoming, convenient environment. Board-certified geriatricians, geropsychiatrists, geriatric nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers and elder life specialists provide advanced approaches for improving, and even avoiding, conditions that may arise with aging while supporting family caregivers with education, guidance and respite.
