Advanced Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s Care at Olive Elder Care: Revolutionizing Senior Healthcare in India

With a booming elderly population in India, the incidences of neurodegenerative diseases such as Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s Disease are indeed increasing. The Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India (ARDSI) claims that there are about 5.3 million Indians who are currently suffering from dementia, which may grow to triple by 2050. While the number of Parkinson’s patients is more than 700,000 in the country, this number is ready to grow exponentially with the population turning older and older. Although the number of patients with such conditions continues to grow, entry into tertiary-level neuro care continues to be very limited; this puts immense burden on families to manage their relatives. Accepting this acute need, Olive Elder Care is enhancing the country’s leading neuro care facilities in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, and Bangalore. With cutting-edge infrastructures, custom-made treatment plans, and compassionate care led by experts, Olive Elder Care has set new standards in senior healthcare in India. Neurodegenerative disorders affect memory, cognition, and mobility and have significant emotional and social consequences. Some of the key issues include cognitive decline (memory loss, confusion, and impaired decision-making affecting over 4 million Alzheimer’s patients in India), motor impairments (Parkinson’s Disease leads to tremors, stiffness, and movement difficulties with a 1.7% prevalence rate in those above 60), behavioral changes (anxiety, aggression, depression, and mood swings common in dementia and Alzheimer’s patients), and caregiver burden (more than 90% of dementia caregivers experience high emotional and physical stress, with 80% reporting financial strain due to caregiving responsibilities). Olive Elder Care is addressing these challenges with a holistic and research-based approach, prioritizing patient dignity, quality of life, and family involvement.

At Olive Elder Care, specialized neuro care units provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for seniors. These facilities include Memory Care Units (designed for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients, ensuring structured routines and 24/7 supervision), Parkinson’s Support Facilities (equipped with movement therapy and rehabilitation programs tailored to maintain motor function), Sensory Stimulation Rooms (utilizing light, sound, and touch therapy to slow cognitive decline), Secure Living Spaces (a risk-free, homelike environment with controlled access), and Round-the-Clock Medical Support (on-site doctors, nurses, and therapists specializing in neurodegenerative care).
