Dementia care

Memory loss can be tough, but you’re not alone. We offer assessments, advice, and support to help you or your loved one stay independent. From diagnosis to daily strategies, we’re here to help.

Parkinson’s disease management

Parkinson’s affects movement, speech, and sleep. We adjust medications, support mobility, and offer practical tips to keep you independent for longer.

Peri and post operative optimisation for older adults

Surgery is harder as we age, but preparation helps. We check health, adjust medications, and support recovery so you heal faster.

Capacity assessment and decision-making support

When decision-making is affected, we assess memory and understanding. For medical, financial, or legal reasons, we help clarify support needs.

Comprehensive geriatric assessments

Comprehensive geriatric assessments look at your health, wellbeing, and daily needs to create a personalised care plan. Whether you’re exploring this for yourself or a loved one, it’s a practical way to ensure the right support is in place to stay healthy and live well.

Who we are and why we care

We’re Dr Asan Akpan and Dr Ola Otaiku, and we started South West Gerontology because we believe older adults deserve care that truly listens and understands. It’s not just about medical treatment – it’s about making life better for you and your loved ones.

Between us, we’ve cared for thousands of patients over the years, and one thing we’ve learned is that no two people are the same. That’s why we take the time to really get to know you, so we can offer care that’s as unique as you are.
