Trusted by Hundreds of Families. Expert Care, From the Comfort of Home
Request a Home VisitWelcome
Specialist care for your parents, in the comfort of their own home.
Getting an older parent dressed, down the stairs, into a car and through a waiting room can take a whole day and all of their strength. Dr Stephanie Arayji brings the consultation to them instead: a full geriatric visit at home, unhurried, with the family in the room. The same care is available at her clinic at Mount Lebanon Hospital, and online for follow-ups and for families who live far away.

Complete Geriatric Care, Wherever They Live
Five Areas of Care
A geriatrician looks at the whole person rather than one illness at a time. Every visit, at home or at the clinic, covers the things that decide whether an older adult stays well and independent: how they move, how they think, what they take, and what matters to them. It also covers what can still be prevented.
Preventive Medicine · From Age 65
The best time to see a geriatrician is before something goes wrong.
Around 65, health starts to change quietly: blood pressure, sugar, bones, balance, memory, hearing and sight. Most of these can be slowed or treated when they are found early, and most are missed when nobody is looking. A regular check-up with a geriatrician builds a picture over the years, so small changes are noticed and dealt with long before they become a fall, a hospital stay or a loss of independence.

Meet Dr Stephanie Arayji
Geriatrician · Home Visits · Mount Lebanon Hospital
Dr Stephanie Arayji is a geriatrician: a physician who specialises in the health of older adults. She sees patients in their homes, at her clinic at Mount Lebanon Hospital and online, and takes the time to listen, to examine properly, to go through every medication, and to agree a plan that both the patient and the family understand.
What Is a Geriatrician?
A Specialist in the Health of Older Adults
As people age, several conditions tend to arrive together, medications pile up, and a small change in memory, balance or appetite can mean a great deal. A geriatrician is trained to see how these pieces fit, to simplify treatment, and to work alongside the family doctor and other specialists so that care follows one plan.

When your parent needs a specialist, the specialist comes to them.
A home visit is not a shorter version of a clinic appointment. It is the same assessment, with one advantage a clinic can never offer: the doctor sees how your parent really lives. The stairs, the bathroom, the bed, the kitchen and the pill box on the table all tell part of the story, and they are all in front of her.

Caring for Them. Supporting You.
If you are the one who notices the changes, keeps track of the pills and makes the appointments, this practice is built with you in mind. You are welcome at every visit. You can call first to talk through what you are seeing, and you will leave each consultation with a clear written plan: what changes, what to watch for, and when to call.

My father takes eleven different pills. Nobody has looked at the whole list in years.

Getting him down the stairs and into the car for an appointment takes two of us.
Mobility -
He came home from hospital weaker than before, and we do not know what to do next.

Caregivers
How a Home Visit Works
Simple to Arrange
One call or message is enough to start. We ask a few questions about your parent, agree a day and time that suits the family, and the doctor comes to the door. There is nothing to prepare except the medications and any recent test results.

How a Home Visit Works
An Unhurried Hour
The doctor talks with your parent and with you, examines them, checks memory, mood, balance and walking, reviews every medication, and looks at how safe the home is. Your parent stays in their own chair, at their own pace.

How a Home Visit Works
A Clear Plan
You receive a written plan in plain language: what to change, which medications to stop or adjust, what tests are needed, what to watch for and when the next visit should be. The plan is shared with the family doctor and other specialists when you wish.

Advice for Caregivers
Small Things That Help

Questions Families Ask
Who should see a geriatrician?
Usually adults over 65, especially those living with several conditions, taking many medications, or showing changes in memory, balance, weight or independence. Families often call when they feel that care has become fragmented.
Who are home visits for?
For anyone who finds travelling to a clinic tiring, painful, confusing or unsafe: people with limited mobility, frailty or advanced memory loss, and those recovering after a hospital stay. Families also choose a home visit simply because their parent is more at ease at home.
What should we prepare for a home visit?
All current medications in their boxes (including vitamins and supplements), recent blood tests and scans, hospital discharge summaries, and glasses and hearing aids. It helps greatly if a family member or caregiver is present.
When should preventive check-ups start?
Around the age of 65, even when someone feels perfectly well. A first visit records a baseline for memory, balance, strength and medications, and regular visits after that make it possible to notice change early.
How does an online consultation work?
It is a video call with the doctor at an agreed time. It suits follow-ups, discussing test results and medication questions, and it allows family members who live elsewhere to join. A first assessment or any problem that needs an examination is better done at home or at the clinic.
Can I book on behalf of my mother or father?
Yes. Most appointments are arranged by a son, daughter or caregiver. Please let your parent know about the visit beforehand where possible.
Does the geriatrician replace our other doctors?
No. The geriatrician works alongside the family doctor and specialists, and helps bring their recommendations together into one coherent plan.
Is this an emergency service?
No. For a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department.
