Dr. Lakshmipathy Ramesh Nagarajan — Founder
I am the Founder of GERI CARE, India's 1st Integrated Health Care Institution dedicated to the Care, Nursing, Treatment, Rehabilitation and Well being of Elderly (Geriatric) citizens. Along with my Co Founder, other Geriatricians and Specialists Colleagues, we provide 360 degree continuum care which is fundamental to the holistic & comprehensive management of the health of the elderly people. What is this Continuum Care? Simply put - Elders usually have more than one health issue + ageing related conditions. These require a deeper understanding of the physiology, psychology, emotional condition & historical health. Their rehab, recuperation, recovery & well being is usually slower & longer. It is therefore essential to adopt a holistic Care plan drawn up by Qualified Geriatricians & delivered suitably. Mainstream health care systems are not yet fully mature to adopt this approach & so it has become an urgent need for Geriatricians to establish most appropriate Protocols and Processes to manage the health of the Elderly. We at Geri Care have taken it upon ourselves to pioneer this effort in India. Our 360 degree Continuum Care consists of managing the elderly person in multiple ways - From assistance in their daily activities, to their mobility and cognitive abilities as well as Skilled nursing and medical treatment. All led by Qualified Geriatricians. We utilise the services of various Specialists, viz Oncologists, Cardiologists, Orthopedists, Surgeons, Geriatric Physio, Speech & Occupational Therapists, Skilled Geriatric Nursing staff etc to provide Care and Manage the patient in a comprehensive manner. All this requires seamless availability of services from a single 'access point'. @GERI CARE we provide all of these through our 360 degree Continuum Care options. HOME CARE: Doorstep Doctor Visits, Nursing Services, Care giver Service @ Patients Home | COMMUNITY CLINICS for OP Consultations, Tests etc; ASSISTED LIVING CENTRES: For Life time Palliative Care, Rehab, Respite & Skilled Nursing Care | GERIATRIC HOSPITALS that provide multi disciplinary & Specialty Intervention, Emergency Services, Consultations, Surgeries and Procedures for elderly. We believe, in the short span of 4 years of GERI CARE, we have made a positive contribution to the Quality of Life and the mental well being of all our patients. I am committed to mainstream Geriatric Care into India's Health Care system. We owe it to our elders.
