As we age, it becomes more important to take care of our health. Geriatric health care is a branch of adult medicine that focuses on the unique health needs of older adults. This type of healthcare includes regular physical exams, screenings for conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, and counseling on lifestyle changes that can improve overall health. In addition, geriatric healthcare providers often work with other members of the healthcare team, such as social workers and home health aides, to coordinate care and ensure that patients are getting the services they need. By getting regular checkups and following their healthcare provider’s recommendations, older adults can stay healthy and independent for longer.
