As we grow older, our bodies and minds change. Geriatric medicine focuses on caring for older adults to help them stay healthy and active. We provide special care to address the unique needs of elderly patients.
A comprehensive geriatric assessment is a full health check-up that looks at physical health, mental health, and daily activities. This helps doctors understand the overall condition of an older person and plan the best care.
Many older adults have multiple health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, or arthritis at the same time. Managing these illnesses together helps improve quality of life and prevents complications.
We also check for fall risk and memory problems. Falls can cause serious injuries, so identifying risks early helps prevent accidents. Screening for memory issues helps find problems like dementia early, so treatment and support can begin.
Frailty and functional decline mean that older adults may feel weak and find it harder to do daily tasks like walking or cooking. With proper care, exercise, and support, we help seniors maintain their independence and live well.
If you or your elderly family members need special care, we are here to help with kindness and expertise.
