Geriatric

Welcome to Department of Geriatric

Geriatrics, often known as geriatric medicine, is a field of study focused on enhancing aged patient care. It helps older persons become healthier by preventing and treating the sickness and impairment that frequently accompany aging.

Through patient treatment, Westend Hospital's division of geriatric medicine works to encourage healthy aging. Your needs for medical care change as your body matures hence it's crucial to work with a doctor who has received specialized training in maintaining the health of senior citizens. Geriatric medicine, however, is not simply for the elderly and fragile. Our doctors are experts at assisting healthy, active "middle-aged adults" in making a smooth transition into their 60s and maintaining good health into old age.

Geriatric & Ageing

At Westend Hospital, we understand the importance of caring for the erderly.

The following are important aspects of delivering geriatric care:

  • Early detection of serious illness.
  • Keeping a current health issue from getting worse.
  • Making patients understand how to manage their disease conditions.

These five principles are kept in mind when we provide care for senior citizens:

  • Aligns care across all care settings with each patient's unique outcomes goals, putting the patient's needs first.
  • Delirium is prevented, recognized, treated, and managed in all care settings.
  • Follows prescription guidelines that don't conflict with the patient's health.
  • Making sure each patient remains healthy to preserve the function needed to do "What Matters."
  • Managing debilitating conditions

At Westend Hospital, we think about the needs and preferences of the patient by

  • Being compassionate, understanding, and nice to our patients. We are kind to one another and respect one another's emotions when communicating.
  • Encouraging independence in making decisions for oneself by supporting their decision-making abilities.
  • Aiding people in developing emotional stability by overcoming emotional restraint and communicating with their loved ones.
  • Improving your happiness, self-esteem, and confidence, stimulate your cerebral acuity, sensory input, and physical exercise.
  • Making the patient's home feel comfortable for the elderly. Assist them in continuing to engage actively and joyfully with their family.
  • Upholding your privacy. Making our patients feel secure and at ease so they may discuss their emotional and physical needs openly.

Our objective is to develop thorough geriatric care plans that are intended to maintain patients' independence and enhance their quality of life.
