Our highly specialised services are tailored to support those with complex health needs
Our specialist geriatricians focus on coordinated, personalised care. We offer comprehensive one-on-one consultations and we will develop a care plan specific to each person’s needs.
Care plans may involve individual treatment, group therapy or a combination of both depending on what best meets the person’s needs. Our aim is to help restore health and improve wellbeing.
We provide support and assurance along every step of the way.
Our specialist geriatricians
Accustomed to caring for people with complex and multiple medical needs, our team of experienced health care professionals work closely with elderly people, and those who support them, to identify their needs, goals and concerns.
They understand that people need to feel confident when making decisions regarding their health. They can provide you with the strength and assurance you need to return home and into the community. They can also help you, and those who support you, explore other options for future care.
