Finding a caregiver for Alzheimer's patient in Ahmedabad

My repeated queries for trained care givers in Ahmedabad have not resulted in any finds.

The lack of trained help for dementia care is a very common problem in India. Most families handle it by employing ayahs/ home help/ nurses who can work with elders, and then training them to get a reasonable standard of dementia care. They may employ relatives of other home help or they approach various elder care/ nursing agencies or use contacts obtained at hospitals, nursing homes, senior helplines, etc.

Typically, the family has to explain dementia and care to the attendant, demonstrate what is to be done, and supervise the work. There are problems, of course, but most families manage to make this work. There are many aspects related to using attendants for home care--a detailed discussion on this, along with caregiver interviews, is at http://dementiacarenotes.in/caregivers/toolkit/using-trained-attendants…

Thanks Swapna.

Shouvnik, here is a list of agencies in Ahmedabad that I have managed to get contacts of. But nobody I know has used them for Alzheimer care. Best to get good attendants/caretakers and then train them like Swapna says. This is the link
