description The geriatric population is increasing in trend worldwide. Therefore, more morbidities would be expected to occur and be detected, including deterioration of cognitive health among the older population. Dementia will cause a reduced quality of life for the patient and their caretaker. Nevertheless, if the disease is detected earlier in its pre-clinical phase, known as mild cognitive impairment, the disease progression can be stopped with adequate holistic management consisting of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual approaches. Spiritual care in fact provides an essential role with regard to mental health among geriatric patients. This aspect of care must be taught to medical staff, especially in geriatric facilities like Rumah Ehsan. This study aims to incorporate the holistic approach including spiritual input in screening and managing geriatric patients among staff at Rumah Ehsan. The knowledge and practise skills have been transferred well to the whole staff in this Knowledge Transfer Program for a 12-month duration. All geriatric patients have received the benefit and have been screened and managed successfully.
