Geriatrics

Dutch population is ageing – the number of senior citizens of 65 years and older will steadily grow in the coming years and this trend is not going to evade big cities like Amsterdam. The research shows that the percentage of elderly people choosing to stay in the cities is rising and Amsterdam is here again no exception. In the past the trend was opposite and majority from that age preferred to leave big cities. These trends, paired with social and political developments that encourage seniors to stay longer self-reliant in their own homes, create alongside the need for more (medical) care for this group and new approach for senior care anticipation.

We provide general practitioner services to number of nursing homes in Amsterdam city center. Karim Bouch and/ or Niek ter Mors, GPs, are the dedicated members of our team for the patients and their family members and the medical teams of those houses.
