Despite your best efforts to provide elder care at home, you may find that the level of care required is simply too demanding. With increase in dependency, you may find that you’re unable to provide assistance yourself or through at-home caregivers. In such a situation, an assisted living facility is the best option. A team of skilled and experienced caregivers are better suited to be able to take care of your loved ones’ every need.

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s/Dementia. The condition is of progressive nature i.e., the individual’s cognitive/physical condition will likely deteriorate over time. At Kshetra, our focus is on providing a good quality of life for such individuals, and we attempt to do so by seeking medical advice from a neurologist/psychiatrist (as the need may be), and by using an interdisciplinary team approach to develop customized strategies to manage symptoms and behaviours displayed by the individual. We do not endorse/ support any form of physical abuse in managing such individuals, nor frequent use of sedatives or physical restraints.

There is, currently, no cure for dementia, but there are treatments available that can help manage symptoms, slow progression in some cases, and improve quality of life. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication management, non-pharmacological interventions (including therapies, caregiving interventions), and lifestyle adjustments (including management of diet/ nutrition and sleep, physical and mental activities). Managing dementia requires a comprehensive approach which needs to be tailed to the type of dementia and stage of dementia that the individual is living with.

In case of an emergency, Kshetra moves the resident to the nearest hospital and carries out the admission process, provided that the hospital allows admission via a third party. Thereafter, a family member, representative or local guardian is contacted and he/she signs off on subsequent treatment.

In the event that written consent for certain emergency procedures is given to Kshetra beforehand, they may be initiated on reaching the hospital. This is done on a case-to-case basis.

It is best that emergency directives be provided by the family at the time of admission.

Respite care refers to temporary or short duration arrangements of care for the elderly, intended to provide relief to the regular caregiver of a senior family member. Respite care can mean few hours or few days or weeks. Respite Care from Kshetra helps regular caregivers get a break, attend to travel or emergencies, or go to work without worrying about the well-being of senior members. At Kshetra, we offer respite care for the day or for longer durations on a case by case basis. For more information, click here.
