About Senior Care & Geriatrics

Specialized, Respectful Care for Older Adults

As we grow older, our healthcare needs change. Older adults may need care that looks beyond one illness or one symptom and considers their overall health, mobility, memory, medicines, nutrition, emotional wellbeing, and independence.

The Senior Care and Geriatrics Program at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research is designed specifically for the medical, functional, and emotional needs of older adults. One of the few hospital-based geriatric programs in Delhi, it offers holistic, evidence-based, and respectful care led by an experienced geriatrician along with a multidisciplinary team.

Whether your loved one is facing memory concerns, recurrent falls, multiple chronic conditions, or the burden of several medications, our team supports both seniors and caregivers through every stage of the care journey.

  • Reduced mobility and weakness
  • Nutrition-related concerns

  • Respiratory concerns such as asthma and COPD
  • Cardiac risk and age-related heart concerns

Our Senior Care Services

Geriatric Consultation

A geriatric consultation is led by a geriatrician, also known as an elderly care specialist doctor. The consultation includes detailed evaluation of age-related concerns such as memory loss, fall risk, chronic illness, mood changes, mobility issues, and medication management.

The aim is to understand the senior’s overall health status and create a care plan that supports better quality of life and independence.

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment

A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, or CGA, is a structured evaluation designed for older adults.

It looks at:

  • Medical conditions
  • Functional ability
  • Memory and cognition
  • Nutrition
  • Mobility and fall risk
  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Medication use
  • Psychosocial and caregiver support

Based on this assessment, the team creates a personalized care plan that addresses the senior’s broader health needs instead of focusing only on one symptom.

Geriatric Clinic

The Geriatric Clinic is designed to make care easier and more coordinated for seniors and families.

In one planned visit, seniors can access multidisciplinary consultation, including:

  • Geriatrician
  • Orthopedics
  • Physiotherapy
  • Nutrition
  • Urology for men
  • Gynecology for women

This helps reduce multiple hospital visits and allows different specialists to work together on a more integrated care plan.

Adult Vaccinations

Vaccinations are an important part of preventive care for older adults.

We offer adult vaccination guidance for immunizations such as:

  • Influenza
  • Pneumonia
  • Shingles

These vaccinations can help reduce the risk of serious infections and related complications in seniors.

Preventive Health Packages for Seniors

Our senior-focused preventive health packages are designed to detect health issues early and support healthy aging.

These packages may include age-relevant investigations, screenings, and consultations to help identify risks related to chronic diseases, bone health, cardiac health, nutrition, mobility, and overall wellbeing.

Inpatient Care for Older Adults

For seniors who require hospitalization, our geriatric services focus on safe, coordinated care with an emphasis on recovery, comfort, and prevention of complications.

Our inpatient care brings together specialists and support teams to ensure that older adults receive treatment that considers their age, existing illnesses, mobility, medication needs, and family concerns.

Geriatric-Friendly ICU Support

Older adults admitted to the ICU often need special attention because of their age, multiple health conditions, infection risk, and recovery needs.

Our geriatric-friendly ICU support is led by a multidisciplinary team, including a geriatrician. The focus is on:

  • Compassionate critical care
  • Infection prevention
  • Shared decision-making with families
  • Care coordination across specialists
  • Smooth transition from ICU to ward or home
  • Follow-up planning after discharge
  • Home care coordination, where required
  • Multidisciplinary Care for Seniors

Many seniors require care across multiple specialties. At Sitaram Bhartia, super-specialty support is coordinated through the geriatrician so that every intervention considers the senior’s broader health and personal context.

  • Reducing unnecessary investigations wherever appropriate
  • Reviewing medicines carefully
  • Supporting caregivers and families
