Kucheria Clinic, Greater Kailash Part 1

Elder care (old age) Health Specialist in Delhi, India. Older adults are an increasingly growing section of our city. And although a large percentage of them are looked after by their families, we find an increasing need for the provision of healthcare that is in sync with their age and functional status, delivered either at home or the clinic.In our practice, older adults have multiple chronic medical diagnoses, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, depression, stress, and dementia and/ or inability to walk. Continuity in care with the senior during “Well” times has been instrumental in diagnosing serious problems such as - infections, episodes of heart failure, low sodium (hyponatremia), dehydration, even sepsis. The combination of age and chronic diseases increases susceptibility, while at the same time dulling the manifestation of a disease. This can lead to a delay in seeking medical help and precious time being lost. The familiarity or continuity that Dr. Kucheria has with the senior is key, as it allows her to move to a diagnosis and treatment plan as soon as the family member contacts her.
