Long Term and Palliative Care Program for Dementia Patients
Dementia is a long-term, progressive condition that causes growing disability and impairment in daily life. The illness causes a person's independence to deteriorate and makes it harder to carry out daily duties. A diagnosis of dementia is always tough to cope with because of the ramifications of the condition.
In its severe stages, individuals with dementia need complete assistance for daily activities and need round-the-clock care and support. Cadabams offers long-term care and palliative care for individuals who are fighting dementia. With a focus on improving quality of life and increasing independence in daily activities, this is a holistic experience.

We had the best experience at the Adrutha campus and their counsellors are so nice and cooperative.
Cadabam’s Adrutha is an amazing place for people with mental health issues. It gives you a safe, secure, independent, natural place to let your wards thrive and sustain their living. My sister is 45 years old, and she has lived here for almost 6 years in this rehab, and she loves it.
Cadabams has helped us so much. Our grandmother was fighting dementia, and she was suffering a lot. Cadabams Rehabilitation helped her. The doctors there were very helpful and caring. They regularly kept in touch with us to give an updated about her.
My father was fighting dementia, and it was difficult to manage it at home. We searched for support for him, and we found Cadabams. They helped us immensely, they cared for him, and he seems so happy there. Thank you Cadabams.
My son was suffering from Schizophrenia. We tried many places to get him treated but none worked. We heard about Cadabam's and once we stepped in here, our lives changed. They have helped us immensely and my son is recovering. I never thought I would see him enjoy life again. Thank you Cadabams.

Signs like severe memory loss, inability to perform daily tasks, and increased behavioural issues are key indicators.
