Dementia
is a complex neurological condition often accompanied by psychiatric symptoms
and behavioral challenges. It is often difficult to diagnose especially in the
early stages and leaves caregivers feeling exhausted and confused. Dementia is
progressive in nature and as of now, there is no treatment available for it.
But all is not lost with a dementia diagnosis. Good management and a great
supportive environment can help preserve the quality of life to a great extent.
Early diagnosis and intervention has a critical role to play in the prognosis
of the condition.
Epoch Elder Care has more than 10 years of
relevant experience in India, and is helmed by Neha Sinha, a dementia
specialist & clinical psychologist, she is also trained in palliative care
philosophy. They have 3 facilities, and they have started a new Dementia Day
Care program center in Pune Kharadi.
On
this launch, Neha Sinha co-founder and CEO shared her thoughts, "My
grandmother was detected with Alzheimer’s that had an indelible impact on me
and my family. Managing elders with dementia and maintaining their quality of
life requires never ending patience, skill set and deep understanding about the
condition. A day care centre is a good start to seek help and add structure and
intervention to prevent fast deterioration in dementia. My goal is to lessen
the stigma associated with dementia for elders. I request one must reach out for
professional care for their parents
for conditions such as dementia, since a lot can be done with early
intervention. Further she said,” dementia care can be
very philosophy based. There are several approaches practiced globally At
Epoch, we have specialized dementia care program for elders suffering from
dementia of any type and across all stages.”

Founded
in 2012, Epoch Elder Care provides premium care homes for elders with
specialized needs, focused on conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke,
COPD etc. Epoch understands each resident living with dementia at a personal
level. Caring for someone with dementia can often be a challenge. Simple tasks
such as giving a shower or eating a meal become particularly difficult. Our
team uses evidence-based methods to care for residents living with dementia to
ensure they receive the highest quality of care in the most comfortable manner.
Some residents’
experiences:
"Our
father has been under Epoch's care since 2014. The attention to medical /
physical well-being as well as the sophisticated, caring approach to managing
dementia that Epoch has provided is truly excellent, and way beyond anything
else in India. While they operate professionally, it's with a warmth and
flexibility that helps families like ours cope with the difficulties of this
situation."
Daughter
of an Epoch resident.
One
NRI Son from Australia expresses his gratitude towards Epoch for his father who
was a person with dementia, ‘Our father was a successful, well-respected
entrepreneur and a fiercely independent person. Since my brother and I reside
in Australia, we explored many facilities and options. And then we found Epoch!
It took only a couple of interactions with Neha and her team and a brief visit
of the facilities, to be reassured that we had found the perfect elder care
home and environment for our father.”
Gratitude,
integrity, and a strong sense of responsibility for the elderly is what ignites
Epoch’s team towards greater heights. For more information please visit, https://www.epocheldercare.com/ , https://www.epocheldercare.com/about-us/care-leaders
