Why choose geriatric medicine?

Geriatric care manages the health of elders over 65. Geriatric health services allow adults to improve their quality of life and manage any health conditions they are suffering from. They help individuals live healthily for a long time without needing someone to attend to them 24/7.

You can use many resources, including telehealth geriatric care, to get geriatric care for yourself or your loved ones. It empowers elders to get the care they need from the comfort of their homes. Get control of your health and see a doctor online from your phone anywhere, anytime.

At what age should you start seeing a geriatric doctor?

What are signs that the elderly need assistance?

If you notice symptoms like weight gain or loss, physical frailty, abrupt changes in mood, misuse of medications, forgetfulness, or other medical conditions. In that case, it is better to see a geriatric doctor.

How often should the elderly see a doctor?

They should see a doctor for regular annual screening, which includes bloodwork and urine samples. However, it is best to contact a geriatric doctor and discuss the signs and symptoms you experience every month. Many telehealth clinics provide geriatric care via membership plans to get the required care in minutes.

What condition is more commonly seen in elderly patients?

Some conditions are more frequently seen in elders than others, including hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, urinary incontinence, multiple sclerosis, or diabetes. Therefore, continuous care from a doctor can help reduce the onset of these issues or at least reduce the risk of complications.
