Geriatric Medicine

The Department of Geriatric Medicine at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai provides specialized healthcare dedicated to the unique needs of older adults. Our clinical approach centers on the core concept of maximizing functional status and improving the overall quality of life for seniors. By utilizing comprehensive geriatric assessments, we address the physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects of aging to ensure that every individual achieves a healthy and successful aging process. Our focus remains on holistic care that empowers elderly patients to maintain their independence and dignity within a supportive and expert medical environment.

Our Geriatric Outpatient Department is designed for all individuals aged 60 and above who require focused medical attention for age related concerns. This includes seniors managing multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or COPD, as well as those taking five or more medications concurrently. We provide targeted care for individuals experiencing frequent falls, memory issues, persistent dizziness, or unexplained weight loss. Our services also extend to those dealing with chronic pain, depression, or general weakness, ensuring that seniors living alone or with their families receive the professional monitoring and compassionate support they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Geriatricians have dedicated advanced training in the aging process. They excel at managing how multiple health issues interact with one another and focus heavily on preserving mobility, cognitive function, and quality of life rather than just treating isolated symptoms.

Our geriatric team manages a wide range of age related health concerns. This includes memory disorders such as dementia, mobility and balance issues, chronic joint pain, osteoporosis, fall prevention, and the comprehensive management of complex overlapping diseases.

While there is no strict age requirement, adults aged 65 and older generally benefit the most from this specialized care. It is especially recommended for seniors who are managing multiple chronic conditions, experiencing memory issues, or taking several daily medications.
