Yes. At PACS Urgent Care, we are proud to provide comprehensive geriatric care in Alexandria, and Ruther Glen, VA. Older adults need specific treatment and support, and our specialists can help you or your loved one today. Some of the most common medical issues that impact the geriatric population, and that we can provide treatment for, include:   ● Cognitive decline or issues, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s important to know the signs and monitor them since early intervention and treatment can be vital in slowing the progression of such cognitive decline. ● Heart disease, which is actually the leading cause of death in adults over the age of 65 ● Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, which is low or minimal bone mass and/or brittle bones. This can be particularly serious if the senior experiences a fall, which is also very common. ● Type 2 diabetes. In some cases, this can be managed via diet, but some older adults will need the support of insulin. ● Influenza, pneumonia, and other viruses or infections. As a younger person, you may be able to fight off these viruses with minimal 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 require things like hearing aids, a stronger eyeglass prescription, or in some cases surgeries or procedures related to the eyes (such as cataracts)   For more information, contact us today or schedule an appointment online.
