With experience, empathy and time for your health

Every phase of life brings with it new questions and requirements — this is particularly true when it comes to old age. At Litsa Lazari Reem's GP practice in Leimen, we will support you during this important time with a special eye for your needs. This is not just about treating illnesses, but about maintaining quality of life.

What is senior medicine?

Senior medicine — also known as geriatrics — is the medical care of older people. It takes into account that many symptoms in old age do not occur in isolation, but influence each other. That is why we work holistically: We look at the interplay of physical, emotional and social health.

Geriatric diagnostics: More than just laboratory values

A comprehensive medical history is the cornerstone of every geriatric examination. We talk about your complaints, living conditions, medications, mental health and everyday skills. This is supplemented by physical examinations, laboratory tests and, where appropriate, imaging techniques. The aim is to identify health risks at an early stage — such as incipient dementia, malnutrition or loss of mobility.

Early diagnosis of dementia: Act promptly

Forgetfulness can have many causes. It is therefore all the more important to differentiate between normal signs of aging and pathological changes such as Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. In our practice, we carry out structured dementia tests, carefully discuss the results with you and your relatives, and help initiate possible therapies or support measures.

Fall prevention: Stay mobile, live safely

A fall in old age can have serious consequences. That is why we take the issue of fall prevention very seriously. We systematically record your risk of falling, check balance, strength and coordination and provide targeted recommendations — from physiotherapy exercises to living space adjustments. In this way, we help you to maintain your independence.

Medication management: Less is often more

Many older people take several medications at the same time — often including drugs that influence each other. We regularly review your medication, clarify interactions, adjust dosages and rely on simple intake plans. The aim is an optimised medication profile with maximum benefits and minimal risks.

Keep an eye on chronic diseases

Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis or COPD are common in old age. We ensure that your chronic illnesses are regularly checked and treated — with a treatment plan that can be integrated into your everyday life. Mental health also has its place, for example in cases of depression in old age.

Include relatives

Nursing and caring for older people is a team effort. That is why we actively involve relatives, advise on levels of care, relieving offers or pension powers of attorney and, if necessary, establish contact with specialized care services. It is important to us that you do not feel left alone.

Quality of life in old age: Our ultimate goal

Good senior medicine doesn't just mean diagnoses and pills — it also means respecting wishes, fears and living conditions. In our Leimener practice, we create space for discussion, develop achievable health goals together and help you live an independent life for as long as possible.
