Geriatric Population

The geriatric population includes individuals typically aged 65 and older, who are in the later stages of life. As people age, they often experience changes in health, mobility, and sensory functions, which may require additional care or support. This group is important to consider in healthcare and social services because they may have specialized needs due to age-related conditions like chronic illnesses or cognitive changes. Recognizing and addressing these needs helps improve their quality of life, promote independence, and ensure they receive respectful, appropriate care in their later years.
