TRIBECA DOCTORS SPECIALISE IN DEMENTIA HOME CARE AND MANAGEMENT
This life-changing illness affects an individual’s physical condition, mental space, relationships and normal day-today living. It is frightening for the person dealing with the illness and it is painful for the family members involved in care-giving.
Our doctors will tell you how to deal with this painful situation. At home as well as in the Clinic.
Care-givers and Family Members need to be aware of how to help and support the dementia patient at home. Our doctors recommend managing with sympathy and love, not rejecting or stigmatising. The best kind of help is “Person-Centered Help”, to promote Well-Being and Encourage the Patient’s Sense of “Self”

UNDERSTAND WHAT DEMENTIA ACTUALLY MEANS
The Term “Dementia” describes a collection of symptoms that can include Alzheimer’s disease. These symptoms mostly develop in elders (above the age of 65). However, younger people can also get dementia due to injury or genetic traits.
1. There are many conditions grouped under the general term “dementia”. These are caused by abnormal changes in brain cells and lead to a decline in cognitive abilities.
2. They can be progressive and affect normal life and routine functioning. Gradually, this affects behaviour, feelings and relationships.
3. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60-80% of cases.
4. Vascular dementia, which occurs because of microscopic bleeding and blood vessel blockage in the brain, is the second most common cause of dementia.
TRIBECA DOCTORS HELP WITH DIAGNOSIS AND HOME MANAGEMENT
Diagnosis of Dementia: Standard Tests and Procedures
Cognitive, Neuropsychological and Psychometric Tests for Diagnosis.

WHY HOME CARE OF A DEMENTIA PATIENT IS IMPORTANT
Tribeca Doctors, as per Global Practices, Recommend Home Care
This is because Dementia is progressive and a long-term condition, with steady deterioration. It is not possible to put a Dementia Patient into Hospital. He or She will feel more Comfortable and Loved At Home.
After the first reactions of shock, denial and disbelief – “this cannot be happening to me”, Acceptance is Key to the Care-giving Process.
