Elderly Care

Elderly Care provides specialised, compassionate services for older adults with complex medical and functional needs. Out inpatient wards support frailty, orthogeriatric, osteoporosis, Parkinson’s disease, delirium and falls management. This is to ensure safe multi-disciplinary care. We run a dedicated clinic for mobility, cognition, bone health, and long-term condition management supported by Therapists, Nurses and Community teams. We also provide orthogeriatric and peri-surgical support. Post-discharge follow ups and community pathways help maintain avoidable re-admissions. We work closely with primary care, hospital specialities, and social services to deliver co-ordinated, patient-centred care tailored to individual needs.

Sister Dora Suite, Ward 2, Ward 3, Ward 4, Short Heath in the Community, Frailty Assessment Unit, and the Outpatients’ Department.

Patients can access care through several referral routes to ensure they receive timely assessment and treatment. GPs can refer patients directly for outpatient review. Alternatively, Emergency Department clinicians can refer patients who require specialist follow up or liaise directly with the Frailty Assessment Unit.

Our inpatient wards in both Surgery and Medicine can refer during admission to request Elderly Care reviews after discharge if further investigation or management is required. These pathways support safe, co-ordinated care and ensure patients move smoothly into the Elderly Care service.

The Elderly Care service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and the outpatient clinics run 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday. To reach Elderly Care telephone: 01922 721172.
