Geriatric Care

At Nakshatra Health, we understand the unique health challenges that come with aging, and our Geriatric Care services are designed to provide compassionate, comprehensive care for seniors. Led by Dr. Swarna Mahalingam, a skilled physician with over 23 years of experience, we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our elderly patients by addressing their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

What is Geriatric Care?

Geriatric care focuses on the healthcare needs of older adults, helping them manage age-related conditions while maintaining their independence and quality of life. As we age, our bodies undergo changes that require specialized attention. From managing multiple chronic conditions to addressing mobility issues, we provide a wide range of services that ensure holistic and personalized care for seniors.

Key Geriatric Services We Offer:

• Chronic Disease Management: Many seniors live with multiple chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, and heart disease. Our team provides comprehensive management plans that help control these conditions while preventing complications.

• Medication Management: Older adults often take multiple medications, which increases the risk of side effects or drug interactions. We review and manage prescriptions to ensure safe and effective use of medications.

• Cognitive Health and Dementia Care: Cognitive decline and dementia are common concerns for seniors. We offer specialized care and support for patients dealing with memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, or other forms of dementia.

• Fall Prevention and Mobility Assistance: Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults. We assess your risk for falls and provide personalized guidance on mobility aids, home safety modifications, and exercises to improve balance and strength.

• Nutritional Guidance: Maintaining proper nutrition is crucial for seniors, especially those with chronic conditions. We provide dietary counseling to ensure a balanced diet that supports healthy aging.

• Emotional and Mental Health Support: Aging can bring emotional challenges, including depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation. We offer compassionate counseling and mental health services to support emotional well-being.
