The Geriatrics department at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre provides comprehensive solutions for a wide spectrum of disorders and ailments affecting the elderly. The department is backed by the knowledge and expertise of the best doctors in various fields and those adept in world-class health practices, and is also supported by world-class equipment and infrastructure.

Geriatric care is also known as ‘elder care’ or ‘senior healthcare’. Seniors (persons over the age of 64 years) encounter multiple health issues which gradually start escalating. These include mobility problems, joint problems, urinary difficulties, emotional and social concerns, medication related problems, and issues with memory. All these concerns and more are addressed by this department.

Speciality geriatric care at the Hospital aims to improve the quality of life, and maintain the functional independence of our seniors for as long as possible.

The consultation with a geriatric consultant involves a detailed evaluation which includes assessment of mobility, mood, memory, medications, bone health, other chronic conditions and the need for further investigations and immunisations. Multidisciplinary input from physiotherapists, behavioural health specialists, orthopaedists, urologists and other specialists are sought, as the condition may warrant. Healthy seniors are also encouraged to visit the geriatric clinic for a preventive health check-up, in order to define means to maintain and optimise health and prevent illnesses. The goal of treatment is to help patients participate as fully as possible in active living.
