Providing best care for healthy ageing!
Staying healthy and feeling your best is important at any age especially as we get older. Ageing will present challenges to your physical and mental health and it’s important to monitor your health regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle to live life to the fullest.
Common health conditions associated with ageing
Common conditions in older age include hearing loss, cataracts and refractive errors, back and neck pain and osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, depression, and dementia. Furthermore, as people age, they are more likely to experience several conditions at the same time.
