  • Dementia is a disease that adversely affects the
    cognitive functioning such as thinking,
    remembering, and reasoning as well as behavioral
    abilities to such an extent that it hampers the
    daily life activities of a person. In the early
    stages, the person with dementia can continue
    doing lot of his work on his own that he used to
    do on the daily basis. But as dementia progresses
    the person needs more support to maintain their
    personal care. Every case of dementia is
    different.

  • Causes of Dementia
  • Damage in brain cells is the main cause behind
    dementia. When the brain cells are damaged their
    ability to communicate with each other gets
    affected adversely. And when the brain cells do
    not communicate properly, it affects the thinking
    pattern, behavior and feelings of the person.
    There are distinct regions in the brain and every
    region has different function. So, when the cells
    of a particular region get damaged, that region
    cannot carry out its function normally.
    Therefore, there are different types of dementia
    that are connected with particular types of brain
    cell damage in particular regions of the brain.
  • Due to our busy schedules and hectic life we find
    it really difficult to take proper care of our
    loved ones suffering from dementia. But people
    with dementia need utmost care and support to
    lead a normal life. For such situations personal
    health care services are the best alternatives.
    Such services offer professional help which
    include personal care services such as bathing,
    dressing, feeding, toilet, foot care and a lot
