Geriatric visit at home
A geriatric visit is a complete medical assessment for older people, to monitor their general health and manage the main age-related conditions.
During the visit the geriatrician examines in depth the patient’s physical, cognitive, emotional and functional condition, to provide personalised care and improve quality of life.
Why choose a geriatric visit at home?
A home visit offers all the advantages of a specialist assessment, with the convenience and peace of mind of your own home.
It is the ideal solution for:
-
People who find it hard to travel;
-
Frail patients or patients with chronic conditions;
-
Older people who need constant monitoring;
-
Families who want continuous, attentive medical support.
The doctor brings all the equipment needed for a thorough examination, sparing the patient the stress of going to a clinic.
