ALAMBANA – Day Care Services

Persons living with dementia are capable of much more than we can imagine

ALAMBANA Dementia Day Care Center

Day Care centers play a major role in dementia care A dementia day care center {DCC}is essentially a therapeutic center where people with Dementia can spend the day by engaging in meaningful and purposeful activities through individual and/or group settings. The DCC also provides for respite and support service to the care givers and family. When the person with dementia is cared for at the center by professionally trained teams, it gives family caregivers relief, reduces caregiver burden, and increases their motivation for their role as a caregiver.

We were the first of its kind to start dementia day care services way back in 2008 and have sixteen years of experience and expertise in providing cognitively stimulating therapeutic activities, functional rehabilitation, and speech therapy. We adopt a care approach which is —

Person centered – individualized, inter-active, empathetic approach,
respectful of person’s autonomy and beneficence.

Family oriented – inclusive, supportive, mindful of the care givers’
physical and emotional needs.

Our day care team comprises of Physicians, Psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, Physiotherapist, Speech therapist, Nutritionist, Dementia care aides and volunteers skilled in dementia care

Tailoring to the individual needs, cognitive and functional abilities of the person with dementia, we provide for a range of cognitive stimulation therapies like – Music therapy, Reminiscence therapy, Arts and Crafts therapy, Pet therapy, Aroma therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech therapy, sensory stimulation activities like cooking, gardening, puppetry.
The impact of the various therapies is periodically reviewed and redesigned for the beneficence of the person with dementia.

We recognize that persons with dementia suffer from social isolation and socialization is a vital part of dementia care. At our Day care we regularly conduct social activities that can help our persons with dementia feel a sense of belonging and purpose; provide them a sense of normalcy; help them maintain their communication skills; help reduce feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety and loneliness.

Social interactions for the persons with dementia can help stimulate their brain, evoke past memories, act as a reminiscence therapy and may slow the progression of dementia symptoms.

Because of their impaired abilities and behavioral symptoms, normally families are hesitant to provide for socialization of persons with dementia.

We provide a safe and secure environment for dementia patients to have life experiences normally, at our day care center.

At Alambana our day care centre, we also provide for respite care to the care givers, counselling, hand holding support and training in dementia care.
