When we look at the status quo of Geriatric Care in India, there is a lot to be said and done. Being a small drop in the ocean of redefining elder care, at Tapas, our focus lies on integrating healthcare with psychological care.
At Tapas we combine health and psychological care with housing, dietary and food services, assistance with activities of daily living and socialisation programs.
Geriatric Counselling in India, is often associated with dated concepts of old age care or hospice care.
At Tapas, we look at specialised individual care with new age and integral services. Individuals within the geriatric group are often in a fragile state, mentally, emotionally and physically. We aim to give them a comfortable and secure life, just like they would get in their own homes.
Individuals that are considered for counselling are often suffering from neurological, psychological and physiological ailments with no respite in sight. Backed by our team of medical and non-medical experts and aides, we strive to make the lives of those in our care a tad bit easier.
Stage two is also tough to determine. As people get older their memory might change but this isn’t grounds for being diagnosed with dementia. During the very mild cognitive decline seniors might misplace items such as their keys or wallet and they might have trouble recalling what something is.
Stage three is when you might become first aware that a loved one might have dementia. Memory loss is mild but it becomes more constant and recognizable to family members, friends and colleagues. This is anything from difficulty in performance at the office, losing a family heirloom, not remembering tips from a class you just took.
This stage is where doctors should be involved with diagnosis as it will become more noticeable to loved ones. During moderate cognitive decline someone can forget something from the news or their hometown. You can also see a shift in personality- someone who might be positive and outgoing might become angry, or timid. It is a good time to get a medical professional involved to help target some of the symptoms.
During this stage, people with moderately-severe dementia have symptoms that are very recognizable and easy to spot. Confusion occurs in everyday activities such as brushing your teeth or how to dress for a particular occasion. According to Healthline short term memory is lost. If anything new occurs such as meeting a new person or hearing a story from a loved one, this will not be remembered after theinteraction.
This might be the most difficult stage of dementia to cope with as a loved one. Assisted living might be a great choice at this stage. Help with hygiene, dressing, and eating becomes more necessary. Your loved one might start to wander out of your view in a public setting or wake up from sleep.
At this point communication can be lost, verbally and or physically. They might not be able to express themselves and simple tasks will need to be completed by an aid, nurse, family member or friend.

At Tapas, we begin our geriatric counselling process by first scheduling a meeting with the prospective families.
After the first meeting is scheduled, we invite the families to understand their concerns and their needs and requirements for their loved ones.
After the meeting with the families, our team of experts then have a conversation with the patients, they talk to them, guide them, understand their requirements and concerns and then come up with a treatment plan which is best suited for them.
After creating a treatment plan for the patients, the patients and their families are called for follow-ups at regular intervals. In these follow-up consultations, feedback and progress of the patients are shared. Following this, treatments and counselling sessions are modified, as and when necessary.
