Comprehensive Assessment and Care Planning
When you visit a geriatrician at our practice, they will thoroughly assess your physical health, mental well-being, and social circumstances. Based on this assessment, they may coordinate with other specialists and support services to develop a personalised management plan tailored to your needs. This plan enhances your health, independence, and overall quality of life.
