Careers in Geriatric Care

Geriatric Care is the planning and coordinating the care of the elderly to improve their quality of life and to maintain their independence for as long as possible. Health as well as psychological care are integrated with the best possible combination of services such as housing, home care services, socialisation programmes, legal and financial planning. A care plan for the elderly people is designed for accomplishing the goal by combining a working knowledge of health and psychology, human development, family dynamics and fund raising.
