Therapy & Support Services

Geriatrics care complements general medical care by focusing on the unique needs of older adults. It integrates specialised approaches for managing chronic conditions, cognitive health, mobility, and overall well-being, ensuring comprehensive, age-appropriate care that aligns with general medical practices while addressing the complexities of ageing.

Geriatricians specialise in managing the unique healthcare needs of older adults, addressing a variety of age-related conditions. These include: Chronic Diseases: Conditions like hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease often require tailored management in seniors. Cognitive Disorders: Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and mild cognitive impairment are key areas of focus, with emphasis on early detection and care planning. Mobility Issues: Osteoporosis, falls, and balance problems are assessed to enhance safety and independence. Polypharmacy: Managing multiple medications to avoid adverse effects and ensure proper use. Mental Health: Depression, anxiety, and social isolation are addressed to promote emotional well-being. Sensory Impairments: Vision and hearing loss that can impact daily living and communication. Continence Problems: Urinary or fecal incontinence, a common yet treatable concern. End-of-Life Care: Support for palliative care and complex decision-making for terminal conditions.

During your first visit, the geriatrician will conduct a comprehensive assessment, which may include reviewing your medical history, medications, physical condition, cognitive abilities, and lifestyle. This helps create a personalized care plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

We recommend bringing a caregiver familiar with your routines, a list of current medications, any relevant medical reports or test results, and notes on symptoms or changes to ensure a thorough evaluation.

Absolutely. We believe in a collaborative approach, encouraging family members and caregivers to participate actively in the care process. This helps ensure that patients receive the best possible support and that everyone is well-informed about the care plan.
