About the Geriatrics Department

Dedicated Geriatric Healthcare & Senior Citizen Support

Aging should be celebrated, not feared. The Department of Geriatrics at Indira Super Speciality Hospital provides extremely compassionate, multi-disciplinary care tailored exclusively for the unique physical and cognitive needs of elderly patients, ensuring they maintain their independence and dignity.

Holistic Aging & Preventive Protocols

Health challenges in older adults are often interconnected. We offer a unified approach to senior wellness:

  • Polypharmacy & Comorbidity Management: Careful harmonization of medications for patients managing overlapping chronic diseases like Diabetes, severe Arthritis, and Hypertension.
  • Fall Prevention & Mobility Clinic: Comprehensive balance assessments paired with targeted neuro-physiotherapy to strengthen core stability, preventing hip fractures and debilitating falls.
  • Cognitive Health & Memory Care: Early detection screening and empathetic management strategies for Age-Related Memory Loss, Dementia, and Alzheimers Disease.
  • Geriatric Nutrition Therapy: Custom dietary interventions designed to combat muscle loss (sarcopenia) and prevent malnutrition in seniors.

We dont just treat the illness; we focus intensely on improving the overall quality of daily life, supporting both our senior patients and their devoted families.
