70- An Outlook of Dementia
ARTHA Artha
‘I got diagnosed and I went into absolute depression and 
guilt, lost all my confidence and all my self-worth. The 
guilt I felt because I’d put my family in this position.’
These are the words of a person with dementia, 
understanding what it feels like to be losing your entire 
identity at the pace of an ounce each day. Looping 
around a collection of varied symptoms that seem 
unrelatable, Dementia makes a person feel like their 
brain is leaving them, like it is running through a 
clenched fist and there is nothing they can do about it 
while it also refuses to register any new trespassing 
element or data. As another patient said in an interview, 
‘I won’t answer the phone and I don’t answer the door 
unless there is somebody coming who I know.’
Dementia is not itself a disease, it is a collection of 
symptoms such as confusion, memory loss, and being 
unable to follow a conversation. Searching for a “
Dementia care home Delhi NCR”, know what it 
comes with and where is it handled the best.

 Confusion– Makes the person feel it’s another 
date and time, believing someone who has passed away 
is still alive, or finding that previously familiar 
environments are now alien to them
Prior knowledge of these symptoms of Dementia is 
necessary to be able to provide quick aid and comfort, 
with enough patience to be able to cope with the 
patient’s temper. For the most part, staying at home 
with a mental illness like this often worsens the 
situation, compared to staying under the supervision of 
caretakers, skilled enough to give proper support, like 
the ones at Artha Senior Care, the 
five-star old age home, a place you can rely on.

THE CARETAKING
Seeing the world through their eyes, knowing everything yet unaware, sure of your 
favorite movie at the age of 5 but forgetting the man you’ve been meeting for five 
years now, it all feels like an itch you can’t scratch. For instance, they could become 
frustrated every time they’re led to the bathroom, not because they’re feeling guilty 
about ‘being difficult’, but because something like going to the toilet feels 
uncomfortable or it could be that their visual perception has changed to the extent 
that the blue tiled floor looks like water and they’re concerned that they might get 
wet or drown.
