The primary objective of Doctor House Visit program by our Foundation is to ensure elders feel safe and comfortable when they fall sick.

 Elders tend to dislike visits to Hospitals.  As a caregiver, this puts further strain on you. When they can stay in the comfort of their own home for their checkups and so forth, elderly parents feel more comfortable mentally and physically.

Why it’s important not to miss a Doctor’s consultation?

Our field research has revealed that the medical needs of the elderly are often overlooked. This is mainly due to the caregivers/children of the elders finding visits to Hospitals with their elders too exhausting and time consuming. This inadvertently causes huge delays in getting critical and timely medical advice from a Doctor. These delays lead to medical emergencies which could have been prevented.  As we all know, medical emergencies are quite expensive to address and also put enormous strain on the elder as they have to bear the brunt of the illness.   Hence, do not delay seeking medical advice from a Doctor,  As we all know, prevention is better than cure.

As per  Geriatric Care protocols, any person above the age of 75  should be cared for and treated at their home settings itself.  As far as possible, they should not be Hospitalised.   This is the guiding philosophy of Dr.V.S.Natarajan Geriatric Foundation. . The Foundation seeks to support both the elders and their caregivers by taking quality healthcare to their doorsteps thereby providing relief to all concerned.
As the primary caregiver to your elderly parents, we understand your concern for their safety and comfort.
