Yes. At Dr. Pedro Ylisastigui MD Practice, we are proud to provide comprehensive geriatric care for you and your loved ones. Elderly folks need specified treatment and support, and our team is here to help you or your loved one. Some of the most common issues or risks that impact the geriatric population, and that we have available treatments for, include: • Cognitive decline or issues, such as dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease). It’s important to know the signs and monitor yourself or your loved one for them, since early intervention and treatment can be crucial in slowing the progression of cognitive decline. • Heart disease, which has consistently ranked as the leading cause of death in adults over the age of 65. • Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis (often more common in older women). This refers to low or minimal bone mass and/or brittle bones. This can be particularly serious if the senior experiences a fall, which is unfortunately a common occurrence. • Type 2 diabetes. In some cases, type 2 may be managed via diet, but some older adults will need the support of insulin. • Influenza, pneumonia, and other viruses or infections. Younger people are usually able to fight off such viruses with minimal effort or disruption, but they can be very serious for older adults, as their immune systems tend to be weaker and more vulnerable. • Vision and hearing loss, which may necessitate things like hearing aids, a stronger eyeglass prescription, or in some cases surgeries or procedures related to the eyes (such as cataract removal).
