**Notes/Thanks/Other declarations**

There is no funding agency for this write up. This writing is solely made by the authors with help of different articles and reports. I, **Dr Kaushik Nag** want to thank my wife **Dr Sujata Sen** for constantly motivating and encouraging me for writing this important topic on geriatric health care. I also want to express my gratitude and love towards my parents for guiding me in right direction during my difficult time. I also want to thank my friends cum colleagues for their constant encouragement and motivation. Lastly, I want to express my deepest gratitude and thanks to my geriatric patients without whom this writing would not be possible.
