Geriatric Care
Geriatric care at its core is medical care for older patients that centers around preventing and treating conditions, diseases, and disabilities that are commonly encountered by older adults. Still, it is a broad term that often goes beyond traditional medical treatment. Geriatric care can encompass a variety of health-related services for elderly adults, including care management, specialized medical care, independence, and social or psychological needs. Because aging is inevitable and the health care needs of the elderly are not the same as for younger populations, geriatric care plays an important role in optimizing both the health and quality of life for older adults in their later years.
