- Expert-led personalised healthcare from hospital to home
Chennai, 17 May 2025: Apollo Hospitals, India’s most trusted name in healthcare, has announced the launch of ‘The Apollo Elder Care Program’, a comprehensive, expert-led initiative aimed at transforming the healthcare experience for senior citizens. This holistic geriatric program is designed to offer cohesive and personalised care that addresses the evolving medical needs of older adults, from preventive health assessments to post-procedure recovery, both at the hospital and at home.
India’s ageing population faces complex health challenges, often requiring the involvement of multiple specialists, regular monitoring, and coordinated care. ‘The Apollo Elder Care Program’ bridges these gaps by offering a single, well-coordinated service under the guidance of a dedicated senior geriatric consultant.
Dr. Priyanka Rana Patgiri, Consultant Geriatrics, Apollo Hospitals, said, “Aging should not mean struggling to manage multiple medical conditions. With the ‘Apollo Elder Care Program’, we ensure every senior has a trusted doctor to oversee and coordinate their entire care journey. Our patients receive continuous, compassionate, and coordinated care at home or in our hospital. This is dignity in aging—redefined.”
The program offers a consolidated model of care that includes a senior geriatric consultant who oversees all medical needs, coordinates with super specialists, and creates a unified care plan tailored to each individual. High-quality health evaluations are available both at Apollo’s geriatric outpatient clinics and through home visits for patients who may have mobility challenges. Patients under the program receive priority access to Apollo’s panel of expert super specialists, with faster appointments and team-based treatment planning.
The program further supports every stage of care, from prevention and diagnostics to hospital procedures, recovery, and rehabilitation. It also equips families and caregivers with guidance, 24/7 access to medical advice, and digital tools to monitor health between visits. This initiative not only simplifies the healthcare journey for seniors but also ensures their dignity and comfort remain at the forefront of treatment delivery.
Apollo Hospitals continues to set benchmarks in patient-centric innovation, and the Elder Care Program reinforces its commitment to addressing the unique needs of India’s senior population with empathy, expertise, and excellence.
