Geriatric care treats patients who are age 65 and above. As you grow older, your health concerns can change, and therefore, may require special attention. Geriatric care provides your older family members with the individualized and superior treatment they truly deserve. As a result, their personalized treatment plan ensures they remain strong and well.
Your doctor aims to protect the aging members of your family from a wide range of diseases and conditions, such as:
Diabetes
Dementia
Alzheimer’s disease
Loss of balance
Osteoporosis
Incontinence
Insomnia
Loss of hearing
Loss of vision
Heart issues
High blood pressure
Frailty
Cancer
In addition, geriatricians are highly specialized in their care. They know how to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat health conditions that impact patients as they age. Just as parents take their baby to a pediatrician for specialized care, you should also consider taking your older family members to a doctor who is trained to meet their age-related needs.
Moreover, practitioners offer compassion and comfort, ensuring that patients feel at ease and hopeful about improving and maintaining their quality of life.
If you’re 65 or older and begin to notice signs of possible health issues, it’s important to schedule your geriatric care appointment. Some symptoms to watch for include:
Loss of bladder control
Chronic sadness
Fatigue
Loss of memory
Loss of appetite
Your health and well-being are our top priorities. If you’re 65 or older and notice signs of potential health issues, don’t wait—early intervention can make all the difference.
