Senior Citizen Programs
With the numbers of elderly increasing in the society, a healthcare institution is incomplete that does not have a specialty care for the senior citizens.
The medical care for the elderly over 60 has a different dimension. Many
symptoms of the elderly need a different scrutiny and a holistic view
of the general health needs to be taken. Only when the elderly feel
confident about the help they get at the hospital, would they venture
out to seek medical help. The hospital has come up with a personalised
care system for the elderly.
Besides the doctor’s care they need
soothing words and assurances that will go a long way to keep boosting
their confidence and faith. Considering their special needs, a Geriatric
department will take care of their medical treatments.
There
will be different counters to deal with them. A help desk will provide
the support in every service they ask for that will help them with their
purpose in the hospital. Wheelchair services and other support system
like providing a helper if they are alone or guiding them with their
appointments or helping them reach the doctor’s OP are also ensured.
