Dementia & Memory Care in Kurukshetra — Early Assessment, Better Outcomes
Occasional forgetfulness is normal. Getting lost in familiar places, forgetting close family members, or dramatically changing in personality are not. These changes have causes — and many are manageable.
Quick Facts
Warning Signs in Elderly Family Members
Not every memory lapse is dementia — but these specific signs warrant professional assessment.
Not once or twice — repeatedly within the same conversation, with no recollection of asking before
Getting confused about what year it is, where they are, or being unable to recognise a familiar place
Struggling with cooking a recipe they have made for decades, managing money, or using familiar appliances
Becoming suspicious, withdrawn, unusually emotional, or behaving completely out of character
Giving away money inappropriately, ignoring personal hygiene, or making dangerous decisions
Unable to find their way home from a familiar route or within their own neighbourhood
Understanding the Different Types of Dementia
Dementia is not a single disease — it is a group of conditions with different causes.
Alzheimer's Disease
The most common type. Gradual memory loss progressing over years. Early stages affect short-term memory; later stages affect personality, language, and function.
Vascular Dementia
Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain — often following a stroke or series of small strokes. Can progress in steps rather than gradually.
Lewy Body Dementia
Associated with visual hallucinations, fluctuating attention, and movement problems similar to Parkinson's. Requires specific medication management.
Frontotemporal Dementia
Affects personality and behaviour before memory. Often occurs in younger patients (50s–60s). Can look like psychiatric illness before the diagnosis is clear.
Mixed Dementia
More than one type of dementia occurring simultaneously — common in older patients. Treatment addresses both components.
Mild Cognitive Impairment
A stage between normal ageing and dementia — some memory changes but not severe enough to significantly affect daily life. Needs monitoring.
Our Approach to Dementia Assessment & Care
Dr. Neha Dua Sobti handles these consultations with the care and sensitivity they deserve.
Standardised cognitive testing assessing memory, attention, language, and executive function — to quantify the degree of impairment and track change over time.
Review of the full medical history and current medications — many drugs cause cognitive side effects that can mimic or worsen dementia.
Thyroid function, vitamin B12, folate, and other blood tests to identify and treat reversible causes of memory impairment.
Clear explanation of the diagnosis, realistic expectations about progression, and practical guidance for care planning — with both the patient and family involved.
For families: You do not need to wait until things are severe to come in. An early assessment gives everyone more time, more options, and more control over what happens next.
