About Geriatrician Doctors

Conditions Managed by a Geriatrician

Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease

Progressive decline in memory, thinking, and daily functioning. Affects over 50 lakh elderly Indians.

Falls and Frailty

Age-related decline in muscle strength, balance, and bone density leading to increased fall risk. Falls are the leading cause of injury death in elderly.

Polypharmacy Complications

Problems arising from taking 5 or more medications simultaneously — drug interactions, side effects, and medication errors.

Urinary Incontinence

Involuntary leakage of urine affecting quality of life. Affects up to 30% of elderly, more common in women.

Depression in Elderly

Often undiagnosed in older adults as symptoms are attributed to 'old age'. Highly treatable at any age.

Healthy Ageing Tips

  • Stay physically active — even gentle exercise matters
  • Keep socially connected
  • Review medications with your doctor regularly
  • Fall-proof your home
  • Get vision and hearing checked annually
  • Eat protein-rich foods to prevent muscle loss

How to Prepare for Your Geriatrician Visit

Before Your Visit

  • Bring ALL medications in their original containers — including eye drops, inhalers, and supplements
  • Write down concerns from the patient AND the caregiver — both perspectives matter
  • Note any falls in the past 6 months — when, where, and what happened
  • Bring a family member or caregiver who knows the patient's daily functioning

During the Appointment

  • Discuss daily functioning honestly — bathing, dressing, cooking, managing money, taking medications
  • Mention any mood changes, social withdrawal, or sleep problems
  • Discuss driving safety if applicable — geriatricians can assess fitness to drive
  • Ask about nutritional needs — elderly often need more protein and specific vitamins

After the Visit

  • Implement home safety modifications recommended by the doctor
  • Set up a pill organiser and medication schedule to prevent errors
  • Ensure regular social interaction — isolation worsens both physical and mental health
  • Schedule regular follow-ups — elderly patients need more frequent monitoring

Questions to Ask Your Geriatrician

  1. 1.Can any of my medications be stopped?
  2. 2.How can we prevent falls at home?
  3. 3.Is this memory loss normal ageing or dementia?
  4. 4.What advance care planning should we do?
  5. 5.Is my parent safe to live alone?
  6. 6.What exercises are safe and beneficial at this age?

When Should You See a Geriatrician?

A Geriatrician specializes in healthcare for elderly adults (65+), managing multiple age-related conditions and optimizing quality of life.

  • Multiple chronic conditions requiring coordination
  • Memory loss or confusion (dementia evaluation)
  • Frequent falls or balance problems
  • Difficulty managing daily activities
  • Polypharmacy — taking 5+ medications
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Depression or social isolation in elderly

Geriatricians look at the whole person, not just individual diseases. They optimize medication, function, and quality of life.
