geriatrics
A medical clinic or office specializing in conditions and complications associated with advanced age.
A geriatrics clinic is a doctor's office or medical facility where patients receive professional care and advice for conditions and complications resulting from advanced age.
The practice focuses on health problems associated with older age. The definition does not establish a fixed birthday at which a patient becomes eligible.
Professional advice and treatment are both included. Residential accommodation alone does not establish a geriatrics clinic.
