Geriatric care in Kozhikode: what to expect at a senior health review
What a geriatric consultation covers, how to prepare, and why families are welcome to attend with an older relative.
Geriatric care focuses on the health of older adults, who often manage several conditions and medicines at once. A senior health review looks at the whole picture, not just one symptom.
What a review can cover
- Current conditions such as diabetes or blood pressure
- A review of all medicines and supplements
- Mobility, balance and fall-risk concerns
- Sleep, appetite, memory and mood
- Which tests or specialists may be useful
How to prepare
Bring all medicine strips or a written list, recent reports and scans, and a family member who knows the person well. Write down questions beforehand.
