There are many opportunities to promote resilience and successful aging in primary care settings such as medical clinics, even in the absence of specific health problems. In the case of geriatric health services, promoting successful aging means that health care is person-centered, focused on quality of care, and aims to improve quality of life rather than cure disease (Kane 2003). Individual practitioners can foster resilience to usual age-related deficits during routine health care encounters by helping older patients select medical devices that are simple to use, encouraging use of organizational tools for medication adherence, providing instructions in well-organized text, encouraging patients to intentionally incorporate behaviors such as glucose monitoring into existing routines, and encouraging participation in decision-making by giving clear choices and adequate time to consider options (Brown and Park 2003).
