Geriatric Care

As we age, we become wiser, more experienced, and more likely to make strange noises when we get up from a chair. But getting older can also mean dealing with new health challenges. We know you've got plenty of life experience, but sometimes your body needs a little extra TLC: that's where geriatric care comes in. It's like regular healthcare, but with extra attention to the unique needs of older adults.

What is geriatric care?

Geriatric care is all about helping older adults stay healthy, active, and independent. It focuses on the physical, emotional, and social needs of seniors, working with you to achieve things like managing chronic conditions, preventing illness and injury, and promoting overall well-being so you can enjoy your golden years.

The health challenges that come with ageing include things like arthritis and diabetes or memory loss and mobility issues. Geriatric care helps older adults navigate these challenges and stay as contented and independent as possible.

What services are included in geriatric care?

• Comprehensive health assessments to identify health risks and develop a personalised care plan.
• Management of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.
• Medication management to ensure safe and effective use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. We’ll also review your medication regimen regularly and make necessary adjustments to lessen any side effects or drug interactions.

We also work closely with our patients and their families and caregivers to develop care plans that address their personal needs and goals. We believe in a teamwork approach to care that involves patients, families, and healthcare providers.
