Dementia is a condition caused by diseases of the brain that lead to a decline in memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday activities. It is not a normal part of ageing.

As of now, there is no cure for dementia. However, early diagnosis, medical treatment, cognitive stimulation, and supportive care can help maintain quality of life and delay progression.

Common early signs include repeated memory loss, difficulty finding words, confusion about time and place, misplacing items, mood changes, and difficulty performing familiar tasks.

Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, cognitive assessments, blood tests to rule out reversible causes, and brain imaging if needed. ARDSI Hyderabad conducts Memory Clinics for assessment.

We provide Memory Clinics, ALAMBANA Day Care Centre, Home Care Services, Caregiver Counselling, Support Groups, Training, Awareness Campaigns, Memory Screening Camps and a 24/7 Helpline.

ALAMBANA is a therapeutic day care facility offering meaningful cognitive, physical, and sensory activities, along with respite and support for caregivers.

Families who want to continue caring for their loved ones at home but require professional support. Our trained team provides assessments, care planning, behavioural management, and therapy support.

Support groups provide a safe space for caregivers to connect, share experiences, learn coping strategies, and receive emotional support from professionals and peers.

Research suggests that nearly 45% of dementia cases may be linked to modifiable lifestyle factors. Staying physically active, socially engaged, mentally stimulated, and managing health conditions can help reduce risk.

Do not delay. Early evaluation allows better care planning. Contact our helpline to schedule a Memory Clinic appointment.
