A Geriatric Health Checkup is a comprehensive health assessment tailored for individuals aged 60 and above. It focuses on detecting age-related conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline—often before symptoms arise. This preventive approach supports healthy aging, helping seniors maintain independence and a better quality of life.
Senior Wellness Evaluation
Senior wellness goes beyond physical health, addressing emotional and functional well-being. Key elements include:
- Vital signs assessment (blood pressure, pulse, oxygen)
- Checks for malnutrition, frailty, and muscle loss
- Vision, hearing, and dental screening
- Guidance on exercise, nutrition, and mental activity
These regular evaluations encourage active aging and reduce the risk of serious health complications.
Elderly Care Essentials
This aspect focuses on managing chronic conditions and improving daily functioning:
- Mobility and fall risk assessments
- Screening for arthritis, COPD, and hypertension
- Mental health checks for depression or anxiety
- Medication review for age-appropriate dosing
Holistic elderly care ensures early detection of issues like dementia or social isolation, enabling timely support.
Aging Health Focus
Aging health assessments monitor key systems:
- Bone density testing for osteoporosis
- Cognitive assessments for memory and attention
- Cardiovascular evaluation for heart function
- Monitoring of skin, sleep, and urinary health
These checkups promote functional independence and long-term vitality.
Geriatric Screening and Senior Checkups
Screenings include:
- Blood and urine tests
- DEXA scans and organ ultrasounds
- Cancer screenings (prostate, breast, colon)
- Vaccination updates (flu, pneumonia, shingles)
