Geriatric Medicine

Meet Our Geriatricians

Geriatrics offers personalised care for older adults, focusing on enhancing quality of life and managing complex medical needs. Geriatricians conduct thorough assessments, evaluating physical health, cognitive function, and social support to create tailored care plans. They specialised in managing geriatric syndromes like urinary incontinence, falls, and frailty, which can significantly affect daily life. 

In addition, geriatricians diagnose and treat cognitive disorders such as early signs of dementia, including memory loss and cognitive decline. They offer specialised care for chronic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Lewy body dementia, adapting treatments to the unique needs of elderly patients. Geriatricians also support families and caregivers in understanding and managing sundowning syndrome, which causes confusion and agitation in the evening for individuals with dementia. 

Through these specialised services, geriatricians ensure older adults receive comprehensive care that addresses medical conditions and enhances overall well-being.
