Geriatrics at home
Close, ongoing care for older people in their own surroundings, with time to listen and in contact with family and carers.
We do not handle life-threatening emergencies: call 112.
What it involves
Geriatric care assesses an older person's physical health, memory, mood and independence all together. At home you notice things that go unseen in a consulting room: how they move about, what fall risks there are or how they take their medication. With that, treatment can be adjusted and complications prevented.
Have private health insurance? We work with insurers and intermediaries: ask during the call whether your policy covers the visit.
Step by step
No waiting rooms, no travelling: it all starts with a phone call.
Call us or fill in the form with your name, phone number and postcode. You can request it for yourself or for a family member.
A healthcare professional calls you, asks about the symptoms and confirms that a home visit is the right option. If it isn't, we will tell you.
The doctor visits the older person at home, reviews their health and medication and shares the recommendations with the family.
