Abstract

Geriatric care is a specialized field dedicated to addressing the unique health needs of older adults, considering the complex medical, psychological, and social challenges they face. As the global population continues to age, the need for comprehensive geriatric care becomes increasingly critical. Older adults often present with multiple chronic conditions that require a coordinated and individualized approach to treatment. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a key tool in evaluating an elderly individual’s health, guiding personalized interventions to manage medical, cognitive, and functional health. An interdisciplinary team, including physicians, nurses, social workers, and therapists, is crucial to providing holistic care. Effective chronic disease management, cognitive health assessments, and endof- life care planning are also essential components of geriatric care. This approach ensures that older adults receive optimal care, promoting their independence and quality of life.
