Annual health checks are recommended. These assessments comprise a physical, mental and functional evaluation and relate to normal daily activities.

Assessment and identification of any depression or memory impairment is also part of a regular Aged Care health assessment.

Chronic Disease Health Care Plans

A care plan will be recommended where a patient presents with a chronic medical condition.That is a medical condition that has persisted for at least 6 months.

Our doctors would review your history and devise an individualised plan for managing the treatment of your problem to optimise your outcome and to improve your quality of life.

Heart Checks

Heart disease is common in middle aged and elderly patients, at Batavia Health we encourage heart checks as part of your health management.

You may not be aware you have risk factors of heart disease early enough. Often there are no symptoms, so it is  important to get your doctor to check your risks frequently, to ensure your heart is healthy.

Vascular Assessments

Older patients are advised to have regular assessments for vascular disease. Where a condition exists our doctors can guide your through your various management options.

The assessment is designed to help understand the presenting problem, but also detailed enough to understand the full health situation.
