In-Home Dermatology for Assisted Living & Memory Care Residents

Reviewed by The Dermatology House Calls Clinical Team · Last reviewed July 2026

For residents of assisted living and memory care communities, getting to a dermatology appointment can be one of the hardest parts of having healthy skin. Transportation, scheduling, and mobility all get in the way, and skin problems can go unchecked as a result. On-site dermatology solves that by bringing the care to the community.

Why skin care often gets missed in senior communities

A resident may not think to mention a spot that has changed, a trip to a clinic can be difficult to arrange, and care staff are often stretched thin. Because the risk of skin cancer and other conditions is highest in older adults, those missed checks add up. Regular, convenient skin exams help catch problems early.

How on-site dermatology visits work

One of our licensed providers comes to the community and works in the resident’s room or a private space. They perform full-body skin exams, evaluate specific concerns, and can often provide treatment on-site during the same visit. Results and follow-up are coordinated through the provider, our front office staff, or our secure patient portal.

Coordinating with your community’s staff

We work alongside a community’s nurses and care team, share findings appropriately, and fit into the daily routine so visits are smooth for residents and staff alike.

How families and communities arrange visits

Families can request a visit for a loved one, and communities can set up recurring visits for their residents. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance, with no trip fee. Community partners and referring providers can learn more on our referrals page.
