    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Healthcare Management
    • Family Support Services

    Background:

    • Geriatric patients often require specialized care, placing significant burdens on their relatives.
    • Existing healthcare models may not adequately address the needs of families supporting elderly individuals.
    • The role of family in geriatric care necessitates dedicated support structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the organizational structure of a clinic designed for relatives of geriatric patients.
    • To retrospectively analyze the primary reasons for patient referrals to this specialized clinic.
    • To evaluate the clinic's overall value and impact on geriatric patients, their relatives, and the healthcare team.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patient referral data.
    • Qualitative assessment of the clinic's impact through stakeholder feedback (implied).
    • Description of the clinic's operational framework and services.

    Main Results:

    • Identified key reasons for referral, highlighting specific challenges faced by relatives.
    • Demonstrated the clinic's positive influence on patient well-being and family coping mechanisms.
    • Showcased the clinic's contribution to enhanced interdisciplinary communication within the geriatric care team.

    Conclusions:

    • A dedicated clinic for geriatric patient relatives is a valuable asset in comprehensive geriatric care.
    • Such clinics improve patient outcomes, support family caregivers, and optimize healthcare team collaboration.
    • Further development and implementation of similar support services are recommended for geriatric care settings.
