Hospital admission

Indications for hospitalisation

You are at the right place in the Geriatrics Department if you have one or more of the following characteristics:

You are older than 75
You have several medical issues
You need to undergo a surgical procedure
You have a combination of medical and/or psychological and/or social problems

Hospitalisation options

Depending on your medical condition, you may need to stay in hospital or you may only need a consultation. You will usually be admitted to the Geriatrics Department. In some cases, you will be admitted to a non-geriatric ward. If you are staying at home or elsewhere, but require a geriatric check-up or advice, you can visit the Geriatric Day Hospital or consult one of our geriatric specialists. We also try to maintain the best possible contact with any care providers or facilities you may use outside the hospital through our external liaison.
