Happy and Healthy Ageing with Geriatric Care
Understanding Geriatric Care is important for elders and their families. Many older people and even family members are not aware that seniors need a different kind of doctor. So, it is important to know what is Geriatric Care and what a Geriatrician does.
The 5 Ms of Geriatric Care
The Geriatric 5Ms stand for targets that are important when caring for elderly people. Following them helps senior citizens manage their overall health and well-being and maintain their active, independent lives for as long as possible.
Graphic of the 5Ms
Geriatric Care is a comprehensive and specialised discipline which treats a senior person’s physical and mental health conditions in a holistic manner. Older people need different kinds of medications and medical regimes in comparison with younger people, because they have:
- Chronic conditions involving different ailments and different medications at the same time
- Ageing-related specific conditions – kidney failure, bone and joint disease, heart failure, chronic pulmonary disorder, to name a few of the problems
- Psycho-neurological conditions and neuropathy
- Emotional conditions – Depression and Loneliness
- Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Dementia
