4 Ways Senior Citizens Can Get Better Access to Medical Care

Shwetha Ravishankar writes about how homecare is making accessibility to healthcare convenient and affordable for older adults. 

Today, India has the second-largest global population of ageing citizens, and this number is expected to rise further by 2050. Nevertheless, India still largely lacks the basic infrastructure and expertise to support the health and welfare of the elderly.

According to a recent survey across the country, for most Indian senior citizens the biggest concerns are access to reliable healthcare and affordability. In addition to this most aged people do not receive the dignity of care that they deserve. 

This is where a service like Syncremedies Healthcare comes in with their @Home Care Program that offers a comprehensive suite of services that take care of your healthcare needs right in the comfort of your home.

Ease of Mobility

Lack of physical infrastructure can become a major deterrent for the elderly. There are just a few functional care homes or public ramps that are available for older citizens who are unable to move, like those who need wheelchair access. This scenario is applicable in both their own homes and in public spaces, like roads and malls. Syncremedies offers medical equipment purchase and rental services. The range of equipment includes wheelchairs, special beds, walking sticks and so much more. 

Right Care for Specific Diseases

When it comes to specific geriatric diseases, there are not many experts out there that can provide quality assistance. From mental health to Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, among others. In such cases having a caretaker or a nurse at home to care for senior citizens becomes imperative. With services across India, Syncremedies’ expert team of doctors and trained caretakers offer unparalleled support to the elderly for any medical condition.

Inadequate Access to Emergency Medical Care 

One of the major fears for most senior citizens living by themselves is how to get access to medical care if required, especially at night. With more elderly care services like Syncremedies available now,  it is now easier to access physicians online for immediate medical care.

Change in Family Structure

Nuclear families are the norm these days, which adds to the complexity of elder care management. Especially in the case of non-resident Indian (NRI) children who live far away and are constantly worried for their aging parents. 

Signing up for an elder care service is easy but managing it from afar can be very difficult since the many sub-agencies that take care of different services like nurse care, caretaker, physiotherapists, often do not talk to one another which creates a break in communication. 

Syncremedies is one such seamless service that houses their  @Home Care Program under one centralized operation which ensures that you always have one point of contact person who is managing the various healthcare partners involved.

The team of experienced doctors at Syncremedics is expert who offers their diagnosis along with assistance from allied services essential for therapeutic compliance such as Nursing care, Diagnostic tests, Medication delivery, medical equipment, and yoga. 

Recognizing that everyone’s needs are different, they offer customized plans for each of their clients.
