Chronic health conditions (arthritis, diabetes, heart disease)
Mobility and balance concerns
Cognitive health (dementia, memory loss)
Social and emotional well-being
Medication management across multiple prescriptions
At Alam Medical, geriatric care isn’t about just treating illnesses — it’s about helping seniors thrive.
