We manage the full picture, and every way those conditions affect each other. Sub: Ageing rarely arrives with just one condition. We manage the full picture, and every way those conditions affect each other. Most older adults living with a chronic condition are not struggling because the condition itself is untreatable. They are struggling because it is being managed in isolation, by separate doctors who do not communicate, with medications that were prescribed without knowing what else is already being taken. At FV, we treat the whole picture. Our geriatrics team is trained to see complexity clearly: to understand that poorly controlled blood pressure makes cognition worse, that untreated pain accelerates depression, that muscle loss makes falls more likely, and that each of these feeds the others if left unaddressed. The goal is never just to manage a number on a test result. The goal is to help you live as well as possible, for as long as possible. Memory and Cognitive Health Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early memory changes Dementia: Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia Delirium, sudden confusion often triggered by illness, surgery, or medication Memory screening and early cognitive assessment Falls and Mobility Fall risk assessment and prevention programme Balance and gait disorders Post-fall evaluation and rehabilitation Fear of falling and loss of confidence in daily movement Bone and Muscle Health Osteoporosis and fragility fractures Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) Vertebral compression fractures Joint pain and osteoarthritis limiting daily function Cardiovascular and Metabolic Conditions Hypertension management tailored to older adults Heart failure and atrial fibrillation Type 2 diabetes in the elderly Dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risk reduction Nutritional Health Malnutrition and unintentional weight loss are among the most overlooked risks in older adults, yet they directly affect immune function, wound healing, muscle strength, and response to treatment. Our nutritionists assess dietary intake, identify deficiencies, and build practical meal plans suited to the patient’s appetite, swallowing ability, and daily routine. Polypharmacy and Medication Review Older adults often receive prescriptions from multiple specialists. Some combinations cause more harm than good. Our team conducts systematic medication reviews to simplify regimens, reduce side effects, and eliminate dangerous interactions, a service most hospitals do not offer proactively. Mental Health in Older Adults Depression and anxiety in the elderly Social isolation and loneliness Adjustment to chronic illness, loss, or reduced independence Carer stress and family support Urological Conditions Urinary incontinence and overactive bladder Benign prostatic hyperplasia (in coordination with Urology) Frailty and Functional Decline Frailty syndrome assessment Activities of daily living (ADL) evaluation Rehabilitation planning after illness, surgery, or hospitalisation Discharge planning and home care coordination —
