Dementia Day Care Centre
Imagine not recognising your own son or asking for a job despite owning a successful business. These real-life stories are just a few which reflect the devastating impact of Dementia.
Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and related memory disorders, is a growing crisis in India. Currently, the Dementia burden is close to 5 million. However, it is expected to become almost 3X – rising to 14 million by 2050!
One of the biggest challenges is the lack of awareness about Dementia. Many families don’t recognise the early signs, often mistaking them as a part of normal ageing. Mass awareness and early diagnosis can lead to better care, management and support.
The Role of Dementia Day Care Centres
Dementia day care centres provide a safe and stimulating environment for people living with Dementia, helping to maintain their cognitive function and improve their quality of life. These centres also offer crucial respite for caregivers, reducing their physical and emotional stress.
We operate such specialised dementia care centres for senior citizens in 5 cities – Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, New Delhi and Kolkata. At our centres, members receive compassionate care by trained caregivers along with therapies to delay the progression of Dementia.

Case Story: Santosh Anand Ji
Santosh Anand Ji, when diagnosed with dementia, went silent and stopped talking. She used to sleep all day and avoided interactions even with her family. In her youth, she was the captain of a hockey team and was fond of socializing. Playing cards was her favourite activity.
Her family members were helpless seeing her deteriorating condition until they visited Dignity Foundation’s Dementia Day Care Centre and enrolled her. The team conducted an MMSE test, spoke to her family members, and formed a timetable of activities for Santosh Ji. Within 20 days, her daughter Radhika noticed a notable change in her mother’s personality.
Now, Santosh Ji interacts with her family and has become active and talkative at the centre, sharing recipes and participating in various activities. Her positive transformation highlights the importance of compassionate care and tailored activities for seniors living with dementia.
Dementia is a complex condition that requires dedicated efforts by putting the members’ needs first. Through specialised dementia care facilities, we can better manage this condition and improve the lives of those affected.
