Why Geriatric Care Matters for Aging Well

As we age, our health needs change. Geriatric care is all about supporting older adults to stay healthy, active, and independent for as long as possible. At OCS Santé, Dr. Naga Vicky provides specialized care for seniors, with a focus on dignity and quality of life.

Aging comes with its own set of challenges—managing multiple health conditions, maintaining mobility, and staying mentally sharp. Geriatricians are specially trained to understand how different illnesses and medications affect older adults.

Geriatric care is important for

Managing chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis
Preventing falls and maintaining physical strength
Addressing memory loss, confusion, or dementia
Reviewing medications to prevent harmful side effects
Providing emotional and social support
Coordinating with family and caregivers for long-term planning

Dr. Naga Vicky takes time to understand each patient’s unique needs, preferences, and life goals. Our goal is not just to treat illnesses but to help our elderly patients live fulfilling lives. Whether it’s staying active, eating well, or maintaining social connections, geriatric care can make a meaningful difference.

Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore as You Age

Getting older doesn’t mean living with constant discomfort or decline. Some changes signal it’s time to seek professional care:

Frequent falls or balance issues – A sign of weakened muscles, poor vision, or underlying health conditions.
Memory problems or confusion – Forgetfulness that disrupts daily life may indicate dementia or medication side effects.
Unexplained weight loss or poor appetite – Can signal nutritional deficiencies, depression, or chronic illness.
Persistent fatigue or weakness – Could be linked to heart, lung, or metabolic conditions.
Multiple medications with side effects – Seniors often face harmful drug interactions that need review.
Withdrawal from social activities – Isolation may point to depression, anxiety, or declining physical ability.
Difficulty managing daily tasks – Struggling with cooking, hygiene, or finances may indicate the need for extra support.

Early recognition and intervention help seniors stay healthier, safer, and more independent.
