Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment - CGA, of an elderly at hospital or especially at home is of immense importance in initiation of Geriatric Care for a senior citizen. Every elderly patient getting admitted to hospital must undergo a comprehensive geriatric assessment before discharge from the hospital. This provides us to plan the further roadmap for the geriatric care required by the person to come back to normal life as soon as possible, to reduce complications and avoid recurrent hospital admissions.

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment can provide a cost-effective alternative to hospitalisation for treatment that can be done at home under supervision by professional Geriatric / Elder Home Care Team comprising of Geriatrician, Treating Doctor, Nurse, Caregivers, Physiotherapists, Dieticians and Elder care coordinators.

CGA is the best guide to choose the right type of service needed by that individual senior citizen. All elders are also an individual among the group with unique set of health condition with different physical and mental capabilities.

Children staying away from their parents should arrange at least a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment by a competent elder care team to assess the needs and determine the elder care services required for the well being of their parents living alone at home.
