Seniors frequently grapple with health concerns that cut across various medical specializations. Unfortunately, many specialists lack a comprehensive understanding of geriatrics and issues unique to the elderly, leading to prescriptions that may not consider the holistic needs of the individual.
The services include specialized geriatric support, providing a nuanced understanding of the unique health challenges faced by seniors. Additionally, it offers holistic medical counselling, guiding seniors and their caregivers on medication management, home care, and addressing the broader aspects of their well-being. This advice aims to enhance the quality of life for seniors and offers valuable support in navigating both medical and caregiving aspects.
