Senior Citizens Primary Care Unit

Caring for the elderly because they deserve the best!

Liaquat National Hospital pioneers in establishing a one of its kind facility for elderly in any healthcare set up in Pakistan. The Senior Citizen Primary Care Unit (SCPCU), a state-of-the-art facility was inaugurated in October 2019.

With an increasing elderly population in our country, SCPCU strives to provide seniors with comprehensive health and daycare services in their golden years.

Many families struggle to care for their elderly family members at home. Loneliness and boredom could be a major issue in their lives, which can lead to depression and other health problems. That's where the Senior Citizens Primary Care Unit comes in. We provide a safe and secure environment where seniors can get an engaging social life and the healthcare attention they need.

Our team consists of highly qualified professionals, including doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and dietitians, to provide comprehensive and compassionate care.

SCPCU goes above and beyond to meet the needs of its elderly members. The compassionate staff members are dedicated to providing personalized care, grooming assistance, mobility facilitation, and maintaining proper hygiene.

Whether for a few hours or the entire day, our members can stay in a friendly environment, addressing their medical, social, physical, and psychological needs Under One Roof.

Purpose-built Infrastructure

The Senior Citizens Primary Care Unit prioritizes safety and security within its purpose-built infrastructure. Handrails are strategically placed throughout the facility to provide stability and support for seniors as they move around. Non-slip surfaces are implemented in areas prone to wet or slippery conditions, reducing the risk of falls. Call buttons and alarms in washrooms ensure immediate aid in emergencies. Regular maintenance upholds the highest safety standards, offering peace of mind to seniors and their families.

Our air-conditioned Gazebo Retreat, surrounded by green grounds, offers a serene environment for socializing over tea and snacks. This space is designed to encourage relaxed conversations and further promote social bonds among seniors.
