What Are The Benefits of Our Aged Care Medical Services?
As you age, your health needs can become more acute or severe, requiring you to access multiple health professionals and even hospitalisation. By staying on top of your health, you can do your best to avoid unnecessary complications and minimise your hospital visits. Better yet, with the quality aged care services that we enjoy in Australia, you can manage complications early. At iHealth, we help you remain in control of your wellbeing for longer.
By getting regular check-ups and preventive care, you can avoid or delay the onset of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Regular health screenings can also help catch problems early when they’re more easily treated.
Another advantage of preventative healthcare is that you stay independent for longer, without having to rely on a family member or be placed in residential aged care. For example, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or another chronic condition, receiving treatment can help you manage your condition and avoid further complications. This, in turn, can help you avoid or delay the need for long-term care services such as a residential aged care facility or home.
iHealth is proud to offer comprehensive aged care solutions to Australians at all stages of life. To find out more about what we offer or to talk to a team member, get in touch today!

What Is The Role Of A Healthy Ageing GP Specialising In Geriatrics?
Geriatric doctors play an important role in aged care, assisting with the health management and support of older individuals. General practitioners are not just responsible for solving symptoms and issuing a diagnosis, but they also play a pivotal role in developing specialised care plans that address the unique needs of older residents without the need for residential aged care facilities.
GPs ensure that the health and wellbeing of older citizens is monitored and managed, coordinating with other healthcare providers and carers while offering invaluable support and guidance to families. GPs can offer home care services and may issue a referral to a relevant medical department when the need arises.
Does iHealth Centre Offer Residential Aged Care Facilities?
iHealth Centre offers an alternative to residential aged care homes, allowing older individuals to continue to live independently in their own homes while managing their medical needs independently. This alleviates the burden of travelling to multiple locations and organisations for patients to manage their needs.
What sets iHealth apart is their dedication to supporting older residents, allowing them to maintain their independence and avoid the need for aged care homes. Offering comprehensive aged care services in Indooroopilly, Australia, each doctor or carer is committed to upholding a high standard of aged care to eliminate the need for an aged care facility.
