One of the most challenging decisions families in India face is whether to seek at-home dementia care or opt for residential care
The care needs of people living with dementia (PWD) differ significantly from those of elders without dementia. Dementia presents unique challenges related to memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes, requiring specialised care approaches that go beyond general elder care. Addressing these distinct needs with sensitivity is critical, especially in India, where awareness and infrastructure for dementia care are still evolving.
