Dementia care at its best! – Samvedna Senior Care

Dementia is not just one disease; it covers a wide range of specific medical conditions, Alzheimer’s being one of them. The disorders grouped under dementia are caused by abnormal brain changes, changes that trigger a decline in thinking skills/cognitive abilities which are severe enough to impair daily life and independent functioning of the elderly patient. These changes also have an evident impact on their behaviour, feelings and relationships.

With that said, seeking professional help for dementia care and working with your loved one by developing a dementia care plan can immensely help the caregiver and those with dementia. 

To understand how to take care of patients with dementia, it’s important to be aware of the symptoms that are observed in most of them. While these symptoms vary depending on the cause, the common symptoms include:

Cognitive changes

  • Memory loss
  • Disorientation and confusion
  • Difficulty in communicating or finding words
  • Difficulty in reasoning or problem-solving
  • Difficulty with visual and spatial abilities
  • Difficulty in planning and organizing
  • Difficulty with handling complex tasks
  • Difficulty coordinating and/or with motor functions

Behavioural changes

  • Anxiety
  • Agitation
  • Depression
  • Inappropriate behaviour
  • Paranoia
  • Personality changes

Well researched and highly acknowledged by the medical community, these programs empower the family as a whole in the caregiving process.

The expert programs offered by Samvedna Care include:

Cognitive Assessments Services

The initial symptoms of dementia can appear as early as ten years before the actual onset. A timely cognitive assessment can help you understand the risk factors and take preventive measures at the optimal time. At Samvedna Care, memory assessments and neuropsychological evaluations are conducted by experienced mental health specialists and clinical psychologists. The Cognitive Assessments Services comprise of:

  • Memory Screening,
  • Neuropsychological Assessments, and
  • Neuropsychologist Review

Home Care Programs Services

Samvedna’s expertly designed homecare programs provide person-centric care for the elderly suffering from various stages of Dementia. After having spent more than 7 years of providing psychosocial support for individuals suffering from dementia, the institution has expertise in providing professional dementia care across the spectrum. Compassionate care and providing help to families accept the condition of their loved ones is critical.

The process at Samvedna Care starts with a medical review which is then followed by a detailed case assessment of the elderly. An individualized care plan is developed for the elderly based on the assessment report and neurologist feedback. 

The services offered under Samvedna Care’s Home Care Program include:

  • Social Wellbeing Services
  • Cognitive Stimulation Therapy
  • Respite Care Services
  • Family Awareness Program

Caregiver Enablement Program

Samvedna Care’s caregiver enablement program is an affordable solution to empower family caregivers to provide the best care for their loved ones. Not only does the program include psychoeducation about Dementia, caregiver counselling, and dementia care training by specialists, but it also trains the caregiver to aid them in taking care of the patient with dementia. What’s more, Samvedna Care’s specialists also provide on-call support for understanding the various aspects of cognitive stimulation for their loved one.

Group Programs Services

Most people, after being diagnosed with dementia stop socializing due to the stigma attached to it. To battle that, Samvedna Care offers group programs for people with dementia at their senior dementia care centres. The programs encourage the development of a routine and help the elderly socialize to keep them engaged. The two programs under Group Program Services are:

  • Cognitive Wellness Program (better suited for individuals with mild to moderate stage dementia)
  • Dementia Café (better suited for individuals with moderate stage Dementia)

Caregiver Support Services

Samvedna Care believes ardently in ‘caring for the carer‘. To see a previously capable parent/spouse become increasingly dependent is not easy, and can be quite burdensome for the caregiver, leaving them feeling emotionally and physically drained. Most caregivers tend to ignore their mental peace while caregiving, which is why Samvedna Care’s holistic dementia care services offer caregiver services for individuals, families, and groups. The services offered under Caregiver Support extend to:

Dementia care can be daunting, but with Samvedna Care’s dementia care centres in Delhi, you can ensure the best dementia care plan for your loved one!

The Connection Between Aging, Exercise, and Healthy Lungs

Enjoying a long and healthy retirement requires taking good care of yourself. While many people focus on living a heart-smart lifestyle, taking proactive steps to maintain healthy lungs is essential, too. As we age, the lungs become weaker and less flexible. This can contribute to a variety of diseases and chronic health conditions. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute , lung-related illnesses are the 3rd leading cause of death in this country. That includes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma—adding up to nearly 235,000 deaths a year. Here are a few tips you can use to keep your lungs healthy: Stop smoking. Talk with your primary care physician about smoking cessation programs. Avoid secondhand smoke. Research shows it can be just as deadly as being a smoker. Stay away from harsh chemicals. It’s important to avoid breathing in damaging fumes (e.g., home cleaners and weed killers). Prevent infections. Many infections can lead to
