Geriatric Day Hospital

Elderly patients can access our day hospital for customised care in a senior-friendly environment. We arrange for several consultations, tests, therapies, rehabilitation measures and prevention advice to be completed in one day spent in the day hospital. By combining tests on one day, elderly patients no longer need to travel to the hospital several times, thus shortening hospitalisation periods. Complete the application form for your patient here.

A multidisciplinary team is ready to care for you at the Geriatric Day Hospital. The team members include geriatric nurses, occupational therapists, speech therapists, dietitians, psychologists, physical therapists, and social workers, among others. They all work together under the direction of the geriatric patients. Each treatment is performed as much as possible in consultation with the attending or referring physician.

You can come to us for follow-up care and/or support:

• technical tests
• geriatric evaluation
• cognitive evaluation/neuropsychological testing
• functional evaluation
• pre-operative evaluation
• second opinion on surgery, admission to a residential care centre...
• Cognitive Rehabilitation Programme (Cognufit)
• other treatments (transfusions, wound care, aclasta)
• social evaluation and advice
• minor technical, medical or nursing treatments such as the replacement of a cystofix
