Preventative Care

• Vaccinations: Keeping up-to-date with vaccines such as influenza, pneumococcal, and shingles.
• Screenings: Regular screenings for cancers (such as colon, breast, and prostate), osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases.
• Lifestyle Interventions: Guidance on nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation to promote healthy ageing.

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment:
During a comprehensive geriatric assessment, our geriatricians will evaluate your functional capacity. This assessment helps us understand your level of independence and identify any areas where you may need additional support.

• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Assessing how they perform personal hygiene and grooming, toileting, eating, and dressing tasks to determine independence level.
• Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs): Assessing how they manage finances and medications, food preparation, laundry, and housekeeping to determine independence level.
• Chronic Disease Management: Specialising in conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia.
• Geriatric Syndromes: Addressing issues like falls, frailty, delirium, and incontinence.

Medication Management:

• Managing multiple medications to avoid adverse effects and interactions. Ensuring that all medications are up to date and assessing that all medications are still beneficial and necessary.

Mental Health Support:

• Cognitive Assessments: Identifying and managing conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's.
• Emotional Well-being: Addressing issues such as depression and anxiety, which are common in older adults.
