Aging brings with it a range of unique health challenges. At Sanjeevani Diabetic Centre, our Geriatric Health Consultation service is designed to offer holistic care to senior citizens. Dr. Rakesh Kumar Jha, with his PGDGM (Postgraduate Diploma in Geriatric Medicine), is specially trained to understand and manage complex medical issues in older adults.
Geriatric care at our centre begins with a comprehensive health assessment that evaluates physical health, mental wellness, nutrition, mobility, and chronic disease status. We pay particular attention to age-related concerns such as osteoporosis, arthritis, blood pressure fluctuations, heart disease, cognitive decline, balance issues, and vision or hearing changes.
Our care model is centered around preventive health strategies, early intervention, and chronic disease management. We take time to understand each patient’s personal history, family support system, and daily living capabilities to provide customized, respectful care that enhances quality of life.
Polypharmacy (multiple medications) is a common issue among elderly patients. Dr. Jha carefully reviews and manages medications to prevent harmful interactions and reduce unnecessary prescriptions. Our geriatric plans also include emotional support and coordination with caregivers to ensure holistic wellbeing.
We conduct periodic screenings and vaccinations and help patients cope with common issues like incontinence, memory loss, and insomnia. Our aim is to maintain independence, preserve dignity, and provide compassionate support during the golden years.
With a dedicated focus on elderly care, Sanjeevani Diabetic Centre ensures that our senior patients are not only treated but truly cared for.
