Overview
Our Geriatric rehabilitation program aims to promote health through physical activity and intervention strategies of strength, coordination, or motor training.
Since most of the elderly population have some comorbidity and a medical history, we take account of the limitations and design an exercise program just for them. This perhaps represents the most cost-effective method to prevent deconditioning and thereby combat disability in old age.
For the older adults, as the age progresses, the functional dependency on their family and surrounding rises multifold. A general shift in cognitive style from independence to dependence has been consistently observed during human aging. One of the central objectives of our rehabilitation program is to regain the confidence of living an independent life. We also help families understand the best approach to care for their elder ones.
Today, compared to the last century the average mortality rate has gone up by almost twenty years. And as,
the average age of the world's population is rising, there is an immense need for effective geriatric rehabilitation to make sure that the quality of life does not degrade in the winter years of life. People should get to live a quality life for as long as they can.
