Geriatric Doctors
Geriatric & Elderly Medical Care
Health needs can become more complex as we get older. It is common to manage several medical conditions, multiple medications, changes in mobility or memory, and different forms of support at the same time. At Narangba Station Medical Centre, our GPs, working alongside our allied health team provide coordinated geriatric care to help older patients maintain their health, independence and quality of life.
Our approach considers the whole person rather than treating each health concern in isolation. We take the time to understand your medical conditions, medications, mobility, mental wellbeing, living situation and personal goals before developing a practical plan for your ongoing care.
If you wish to enquire about a specific health concern, a comprehensive seniors health review or continued management of complex healthcare needs, please call us on (07) 3521 4333 or book online.
