Keeping The Elderly Healthy


Preventive Care

Preventive care helps keep the elderly healthy by identifying health issues in their early stages, before they become serious. Treatment can be much less expensive and more effective in the early stages of disease, allowing patients to live longer and with better quality of life.

Medication Management

Medications are an essential part of keeping the elderly healthy and well. They can help manage chronic illnesses, improve symptoms associated with physical ailments, control blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels, and alleviate anxiety or depression.

However, the effectiveness of medication varies from patient to patient. Clinicians must evaluate each patient’s current medical needs and carefully consider the appropriate medications to use.

Sleep Hygiene

If you’re struggling with sleep issues, there are things you can do to help yourself. These include changing your diet, getting regular exercise, and creating a more relaxed atmosphere.

Having good sleep hygiene can help you stay healthier and avoid a range of serious health problems. It can also help you feel more energized and refreshed during the day.

Socialising

Socialisation, the process by which a person learns the values and habits of a society, is important for keeping an elderly person healthy. It can also help keep them active and engaged in life, ensuring they remain as functional as possible for as long as they can.
