Our Expertise
in Health Care for Elderly
Our clinic provides expertise for addressing
different aspects of health concerns commonly faced by older
persons. These include comprehensive geriatric assessment,
management of acute and chronic medical conditions, and the
coordination of care for persons with multiple chronic illnesses.
Elders are Different from Other Age Groups
It is not uncommon for elderly patients
to have seen multiple doctors because of the “vague”
nature of their complaints. It is also not uncommon for the
older person to come with multiple chronic problems such as
diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol levels and high blood
pressure, and to be taking multiple medications from multiple
doctors.
Health Restoration. Maximum Ability. Independent Life.
Geriatric Medicine is a specialty that
focuses on health concerns faced by older persons and aims
to promote healthy ageing, optimize health and independence,
and minimize disability.
Disabilities and illnesses are NOT inevitable aging conditions.
With proper specialized geriatric medical care, our elderly
patients can look forward to graceful aging with minimized
period of disability. |
