Common Geriatric Concerns

Ageing Isn't a Disease — But It Changes the Rules
The same medicine that works well in a 40-year-old may cause confusion or falls in an 80-year-old. Diseases present differently — pneumonia may cause confusion rather than fever, and a heart attack may present as fatigue rather than chest pain. Specialist geriatric care understands these nuances, coordinates multiple specialists and prevents the "prescribing cascade" where one drug's side effect is treated with another drug.
Fall Prevention
Falls are a leading cause of disability in the elderly — and most are preventable.
Medication Management
Reviewing all medicines prevents dangerous interactions and unwanted side effects.
Cognitive & Mood Support
Memory concerns need evaluation — some causes are reversible; all benefit from support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on elderly health, medication and care planning.
callSpeak with our care teamGeriatric care is specialised medical care for older adults, focusing on conditions common with ageing, multiple chronic diseases, medication management, fall prevention, memory issues and maintaining independence.
Common issues include hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease, cognitive decline, urinary problems, vision and hearing loss, and increased risk of falls and infections.
Older adults often take multiple medications for different conditions. Polypharmacy increases the risk of drug interactions, side effects, confusion and falls. A regular review of all medicines by a specialist is essential.
Fall prevention includes reviewing medications, treating vision and balance problems, strength and balance exercises, home safety modifications, and using walking aids when needed.
It is a multidimensional evaluation of an older person's medical, functional, cognitive, psychological and social status, aimed at creating a coordinated care plan that preserves independence.
Commonly recommended vaccines include influenza, pneumococcal, shingles, tetanus and hepatitis B. Your doctor will advise based on your health and risk factors.
A general health check at least once a year is recommended, or more frequently if you have multiple chronic conditions. This includes blood pressure, blood sugar, kidney function, lipid profile and review of all medications.
Coverage depends on your policy. Hospitalisation and treatment for geriatric conditions is usually covered. Contact the hospital desk to confirm details.
