Difficulties and Challenges in Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract

Geriatric care refers to the specialized care and treatment plans curated exclusively for the elderly, usually those aged 65 and above. It is a holistic approach that caters to the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of the elderly, and focuses on the challenges and unique needs that arise with aging. Geriatric care is important because it caters to integral aspects of senior-hood like management of chronic conditions, medication management, and maintaining functional independence. Care at home for senior citizens provides personalized support and assistance in-house, offering a myriad of benefits. The aim of this article is to provide insights into the role of GM to non-geriatrician readers and to summarize the main aspects of the value of a geriatric approach across the spectrum of healthcare.
