Healthcare Services for the Elderly

In families around the world, the ageing population is a major group requiring its own set of care and attention. As elders in families live longer, their health declines and therefore, the need for high-level caregiving at home also increases. Tribeca, as Kolkata’s Largest Eldercare Services Provider has noticed that the demand for its Home Healthcare Services is rapidly increasing.

“Many of our Members find it difficult to go out and meet doctors in their chambers or wait in clinics for their diagnostic tests. So, we have arranged home doctor visits, vaccines, diagnostic tests, physiotherapy – all as a part of Home Healthcare Services. At a higher level, we offer post-hospitalisation recovery at home set-up with ICU Management, Tracheal Intubation and Ryle’s Tube, IV, Oxygen, Wound Care and Cleaning, Catherization and supervision by highly trained Nursing Staff”. Prateep Sen, Co-CEO Tribeca Eldercare.

The Start of Cognitive Decline

As Tribeca Eldercare Members age, the instances of cognitive decline are also beginning to go up. Some are beginning to get confused and do not think clearly. They forget more than they used to. They begin to find it difficult to express themselves and communicate. This leads to frustration and anger, displays of aggression. Patience and compassion are the touchstones of Tribeca Eldercare’s handling of its Members.

Over and above the standard package of Care Services and Home Healthcare, Tribeca has trained Dementia Care Staff to offer specialized care to those who need it. The Care Managers who visit the Members pay close attention to their mental condition. Looking out for depression is also required.

When there are frequent mood swings and changes in behavior and personality – these are the danger signs for Dementia and some form of Cognitive Decline. Tribeca Care Managers are in close contact with the families of members and bring these changes to their notice. Senior Managers at Tribeca are brought into the Chain of Escalation. Psychiatric assessment is initiated and the Members’ behaviour patterns analyzed. A senior Geriatric Specialist who is associated with Tribeca Eldercare, is then consulted.

Constant Family Consultations

Tribeca Eldercare believes in taking the family of a dementia patient on board with every decision which is connected with their parents’ care and management of the disease.

They must be prepared about what to expect and how the condition will deteriorate.
They need to be on conference calls with Tribeca doctors to know about the medicines and clinical management.
They need to be aware that as the condition becomes worse, there will be a need for higher and higher levels of care management staff and nursing services. All of which will require an allotted budget.
Long-term care of diseases like Alzheimer’s and different kinds of Dementia can become a financial burden.
