Geriatric Medicine South Florida

Geriatric Medicine South Florida

Geriatric medicine is a sub-specialty of internal medicine that deals with health issues for the elderly. Since no person ages at the same rate or encounters the same problems that come with age, everyone is handled on an individualized basis. If you or a loved one is in need of geriatric medicine from a team of trained professionals, look no further than Unimed in South FL.

Geriatric medicine is different than standard adult medicine because it is exclusively focused on the unique challenges faced by the elderly. The aged body has fundamental physiological differences from the younger adult body. During the aging process, various organ systems begin to decline. Prior health problems and lifestyle choices create a different collection of diseases and symptoms in different people. Disease in elderly people may present as vague and non-specific or may manifest in the form of delirium or falls. Some individuals may have difficulty putting together words to describe their symptoms, especially if the disease is causing cognitive problems. Many of these problems can be treated, so long as the root cause is found.

At Unimed, we offer an individualized approach to providing geriatric medicine. Aging is not a linear process and occurs differently for each individual. Therefore it is important to ensure that every patient is evaluated in the most thorough, comprehensive manner. Whether you are encountering seemingly minor problems or more serious symptoms, it is always wise to err on the side of caution. Seeking care from qualified professionals, like our team at Unimed, is the safest most assuring option when faced with difficult or minor health problems.

For most elderly individuals, retaining functional abilities and independence are critical for maintaining a higher quality of life. Every person wants to live on their own terms for as long as possible, and that does not go unnoticed by our Unimed staff. We will go that extra mile to ensure each of our patients get the best quality care to prolong independence and improve quality of life. If you or a loved one is in need of geriatric medicine, call our Fort Lauderdale office today.
