Support for older adults at home in Poisat
What that changes here
For an older adult in Poisat, we set the time at the start of care and stick to it. The upper part of town is steep: in winter we factor that into the order of the round.

Reading the schedule…
A chosen slot is a preference held for 24 hours, never a confirmed appointment: the practice calls to set it.
How we work
- Regular visits are also there to spot change: appetite, hydration, mobility, confusion.
- Pressure-sore and fall prevention are built into every visit, not treated separately.
- We keep family carers informed of what we observe, within professional confidentiality.
- Three years in acute geriatric medicine at the university hospital: we recognise decompensation as it begins.
