Geriatric Guidelines

Geriatric guidelines are recommendations designed to help healthcare providers care for older adults effectively. They focus on managing common age-related health issues, such as chronic conditions, medication safety, sensory impairments, and functional ability. The goal is to promote healthier aging, prevent complications, and improve quality of life by tailoring treatments to the unique needs of older individuals. These guidelines emphasize comprehensive, patient-centered care that considers physical, mental, and social factors, ensuring older adults receive safe, appropriate, and respectful treatment that supports their independence and well-being.
