Geriatric Care
Geriatric Care is a specialised branch of healthcare dedicated to promoting the health, independence, dignity, and overall well-being of older adults. As people age, their needs often become complex—marked by multiple medical conditions like Organ failure, Cancer, Heart disease, Stroke, Dementia etc., reduced mobility, cognitive changes, emotional vulnerabilities, and a growing need for support in daily living. Geriatric care addresses these challenges through a holistic, person-centred approach that looks beyond illness to the individual as a whole.
We understand that ageing is not merely a medical journey but a life transition that affects individuals and families alike. Our integrated geriatric care model combines preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and supportive services,
delivered by a multidisciplinary team of geriatricians, nurses, physiotherapists, counsellors, and trained caregivers.
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
A detailed evaluation of medical conditions, medications, mobility, cognition, nutrition, emotional health, and social support, enabling personalised and coordinated care planning.
Medical Management of Chronic Illnesses
Ongoing care for age-related and chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, respiratory illnesses, neurological disorders, and frailty syndromes.
Nursing and Personal Care Support
Skilled nursing services, assistance with daily living activities, wound care, medication management, and continuous monitoring to ensure comfort and safety.
Rehabilitative and Mobility Support
Physiotherapy, mobility training, fall-prevention strategies, and functional rehabilitation aimed at maintaining independence and improving quality of life.
Cognitive and Mental Health Care
Support for elders living with dementia, depression, anxiety, and other cognitive or emotional challenges, including counselling and caregiver guidance.
Nutrition and Wellness Support
Dietary assessment and guidance tailored to age-related needs, chronic conditions, and recovery requirements.
Home-Based Geriatric Care
Medical, nursing, and supportive services delivered in the familiar comfort of the elder’s home, reducing hospitalisation and promoting continuity of care.
Integrated Geriatric and Palliative Care
For elders with serious or life-limiting illnesses, we provide seamless integration of geriatric and palliative care—focusing on symptom relief, comfort, dignity, and family support.
A Commitment to Dignity in Ageing
At Age Care Foundation, we believe that ageing deserves care, respect, and compassion—not neglect or isolation. Our geriatric care services are designed not only to extend life, but to enhance its quality—supporting elders to live their later years with reassurance, dignity, and a sense of being valued. Because caring for the elderly is not just a service—it is a responsibility, a privilege, and a reflection of our shared humanity.

We provide specialised care for elders with dementia, including medical management, behavioural support, counselling, caregiver education, and guidance on safety and daily care, while preserving dignity and comfort.
