Caring for Dementia with Dignity and Compassion in Nepal
A Complete Guide to Dementia Care at Florence Care Home, Kathmandu
Understanding Dementia
Dementia is not a single disease but a combination of symptoms that affect memory, behavior, communication, and daily functioning. It occurs when brain cells are damaged and can no longer communicate effectively.
People with dementia often:
-
Forget recent events or familiar faces
-
Become confused about time and place
-
Struggle with communication
-
Experience mood swings or personality changes
The most common form is Alzheimer’s disease, followed by vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. While age increases the risk, dementia is caused by changes in the brain, not by ageing itself.
The Challenges of Caring for Someone with Dementia
Caring for someone with dementia is both demanding and deeply meaningful. Family members often face emotional stress as they witness memory loss and behavioral changes. Everyday tasks such as eating, bathing, or sleeping may become difficult.
Common challenges include:
-
Memory loss and confusion
-
Wandering and getting lost
-
Mood changes and agitation
-
Sleep disruption
-
Loss of motivation or interest
Because of these challenges, professional dementia care becomes essential ensuring safety, dignity, and emotional comfort for every individual.
