      <abstract>
        <p>Geriatric care management in community health practices faces significant challenges, including chronic diseases, frailty, polypharmacy, and deconditioning. These issues are intensified by the rapidly growing elderly population, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Telehealth, long-term care (LTC) services, and comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGA) have become crucial solutions. CGA provides a multidisciplinary evaluation that improves patient outcomes, while LTC services support older adults__ampersandsign#39; functional abilities and dignity. Telehealth enhances access to care, reduces costs, and offers support to caregivers. Integrating these approaches, enhancing training for healthcare providers and developing supportive policies are crucial. This review underscores the need for a holistic, integrated strategy to address the complex needs of older adults, ensuring their well-being and optimizing healthcare systems. Future efforts should focus on standardizing CGA protocols, expanding LTC services within primary healthcare, promoting telehealth adoption and fostering research on effective interventions. These measures will ensure older adults receive comprehensive, effective and accessible care, improving their quality of life and reducing the burden on healthcare systems.&#13;
