Geriatric

Our Geriatric Department welcomes any senior citizen, aged 65 and above, particularly those grappling with multiple diseases, multiple medications, or the challenges of frailty (functional decline), and we are committed to providing comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of our elderly patients.

We address a spectrum of disorders, which occur in multiple combinations in older adults, from primary general care, to complex geriatric syndromes from combinations of diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, arthritis, heart/kidney issues, airway/lung issues, infections, stroke, to age related conditions like prostate, incontinence, constipation, anaemia, dementia, senile Parkinson's, chronic pain, heart failure, and many other degenerative diseases, that require patience and patient tailored management based on what matters to the older patient and their caregivers, to improve their quality of life, and avoiding too many medicines, that can potentially cause side effects with age.

Our approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, recognizing not only the physical ailments, but also the emotional toll of geriatric mental health conditions such as depression, insomnia, and loneliness. In such a way, this Geriatric Clinic offers to be a one-stop-solution for older adults with multiple issues, for a continuum of care established through routine OPD Consultations, Yearly Wellness Checkups, Regular Follow-ups, advanced Telemedicine and Home based Services. Along with this, we offer Vaccination, dieticians, physiotherapists, and social care coordinators, ensuring each older individual receives the personalised care they deserve. We also offer specialised clinics focusing on dementia, parkinsons, falls, and geriatric oncology.

Our Services also include acute geriatric emergencies, inpatient fast discharge programme for sick older adults, post-acute recovery care, home care recovery services. We also help surgical teams like orthopaedics to medically manage elderly patients needing major surgeries, from making them fit for surgery, and helping them recover fast, preventing any medical complications common in elderly. Our commitment to holistic care extends to offer inpatient services for advanced stages of diseases like heart failure, strokes, end stage kidney disease, COPD-lung fibrosis, advanced parkinson's/dementia and supportive care for terminal older cancer patients also, offering them comfort from symptom burden in the face of advanced life limiting illnesses.

Our department stands as guardian of geriatric health, committed to ensuring quality geriatric healthcare for every step of the ageing journey, which should be met with dignity, compassion, and unwavering support for our beloved older patients.
