About Senior Care Educator

Supporting Older Adults and Families Through Ageing, Care Planning and Daily Health Needs

The Senior Care Educator service at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research provides practical guidance, counselling and care coordination support for older adults and their families.

Ageing often brings changes in health, mobility, memory, nutrition, sleep, medicines, independence and emotional wellbeing. Families may also need support in understanding how to care for an elderly parent, manage chronic conditions, prevent falls, prepare for hospital visits, plan recovery after illness, and improve day-to-day quality of life.

Our Senior Care Educators work closely with geriatricians, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other specialists to help senior citizens and caregivers understand care plans and follow them confidently at home.

The focus is on education, prevention, independence, dignity and family-centred support.
