2. Old Age in India
•In India, old age was never a problem.
•Earlier, the elder persons in the family were respected a
lot and they continued to live with respect till their death.
•Times have changed. The elders are treated as burden ,
often neglected / ignored and the story is different if you
suffer from some form of Dementia or you are Caregiver
for your parents/elders or you are in sandwich generation

3. Dementia Effect
• Dementia is an illness that over time affects the capacity of individuals to
make some or all decisions about their everyday lives, including their money,
health and welfare.
• It gradually affects their ability to communicate, reason and act in their own
interests. This severely compromises their ability to stand up for their own
rights and leaves them vulnerable to abuse.
• Diversity – Culture, Religion, Tradition, Food Habits, Clothing, Life style etc
leads to complication and challenges of managing person with Dementia

4. How it Impacts
Dementia does not affects the person but it also has an huge impact on the lives
of the family, and particularly the person who takes the primary role in
providing care.
Most of the time care is provided by one of the family member and other
informal support systems in the community and most of the time caregivers are
women.
The provision of care to a person with dementia can result in significant strain
for those who provide most of that care (primary caregiver).
The Caregiver Stress is Multi Dimensional

7. What is Holistic Care management
• Try to establish a routine.
• Allow the person with dementia to retain some independence.
• Protect his/her dignity.
• Try to involve him/her in as many activities as possible.
• Avoid confrontation whenever possible.
• Keep tasks simple.
• Maintain a sense of humor.
• Make sure your home is as safe as possible.
• Encourage the person with dementia to take exercise.
• Help to make the best of the affected person's existing abilities.
• Remember problems are due to the disease, and not the person.
• Remain flexible: dementia is a progressive illness and you will have to adapt to
changes that occur over time.
