Providing Age-Friendly Care
The goal is for all care with older adults to be Age-Friendly care, which:
• Follows an essential set of evidence-based practices;
• Causes no harm; and
• Aligns with What Matters to the older adult and their family caregivers.
AFHS-specific Grand Rounds cases focus on the 4Ms Framework as it pertains to patients 65 years of age and older
What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility will be addressed as a set and ASSESSED and ACTED ON in each
case scenario. The 4Ms include:
• What Matters: Know, align and act on each older adult’s specific health outcome goals and care preferences
• Medication: Optimize medication use to reduce harm and burden, focusing on medications affecting mobility, mentation,
and what matters; If medication is necessary, use Age-Friendly medication that does not interfere with What Matters to the
older adult, Mobility, or Mentation
• Mentation: Focus to prevent, identify, treat, and manage dementia, depression and delirium in older adults
• Mobility: Focus to maintain mobility and function and prevent/treat complications of immobility in older adults; Ensure that
older adults move safely in order to maintain function and do What Matters

Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, providers will be able to:
• Identify the interrelationship of the 4Ms in the context of an acute or chronic condition, such as cerumen impaction
• Integrate Age-Friendly care using the 4Ms Framework in care of older adults 65 years of age and over

Case Scenario: Cerumen Impaction
(S) Situation: John is a 78 year old male at the clinic to remove cerumen in ear. He just left his audiologist who
recommended cerumen removal. John is accompanied by his part-time aide who drives him to appointments. His only
other concern is difficulty falling asleep about three nights a week and on those nights he takes zolpidem which helps
him fall asleep. What Matters most to John is being able to hear the bidding during the weekly bridge games in his
assisted living facility.
(B) Background: PMH: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, bilateral knee replacement 5 years ago, insomnia
Medications: lisinopril 20mg PO daily, rosuvastatin 20mg PO daily at bedtime, zolpidem 5mg PO at bedtime PRN
insomnia. No known drug allergies.
Reviewed labs drawn 6 months ago. Renal function: no abnormalities noted, Glucose 90 mg/dL, potassium 3.8 mEq/L,
eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73m2, Lipid panel: Total Cholesterol 180 mg/dL, LDL 90 mg/dL
Social: Past smoker, reports rare alcohol use, enjoys playing bridge each week. John has been living alone in an
assisted living facility since his wife passed away 1 year ago. Exercise limited to walking around the assisted living facility
using his cane.

Case Scenario: Cerumen Impaction (Cont.)
(A) Assessment: VS: BP 130/76 mmHg seated, HR 64/min, RR 18/min, Temp 98.5F, SpO2 98% on room air
Mentation: Mood and dress appropriate, normal affect; PHQ-2 = 0 (negative); Mini-Cog = 5 (negative)
Mobility: Assessed when the patient walked from the waiting area to the exam room. Used cane for ambulating. No
difficulty walking or turning. Get Up and Go demonstrated no mobility, gait, or balance issues.
Mouth and Neck: Moist mucous membranes; No lymphadenopathy
Ears: Hearing aids both ears; dark brown, hardened cerumen bilaterally obstructing both tympanic membranes. Patient
able to demonstrate appropriate use of hearing aids and knowledgeable regarding their maintenance.
Respiratory: Lungs clear bilateral all lobes
