Today’s “Word of the Day” is geriatric and it is an adjective meaning “relating to elderly people, particularly with respect to their healthcare”.
Example Sentence: As India becomes increasingly urbanised and families break up into smaller units, homes for the elderly have sprung up. The care of elderly people is managed by a set of professionals or voluntary organisations interested in geriatric services. The number of such care homes is rising rapidly in urban and semi-urban India. These homes are either paid for, or offer free or subsidised service.
