Nursing Geriatric nursing is the branch of nursing that focuses on the care of elderly patients. This specialty of nursing focuses on promoting the health and wellbeing of patients aged 65 years and above.

Geriatric nurses also help to identify and manage the unique health concerns associated with aging, such as chronic illnesses and cognitive decline.
