Geriatric Care
What is Geriatric Care?
Geriatric care addresses the complex needs of older people by focusing on health promotion and the prevention and treatment of disease and disability. Elderly patients have unique health concerns, with many health issues occurring at once in a patient. Additionally, elderly patients often react differently than younger patients when they become ill. Therefore, a health care provider at the clinic will create a health plan that addresses these unique needs.
