Identifying the Early Signs of Dementia - Our Founder's Journey

Caroline Ignatius of Devika Care Company, created an award winning service to provide help for those living with dementia and their family, after her mother was diagnosed with dementia. This life-altering experience not only shaped her understanding of the disease but also ignited a passion within her to create a supportive environment for individuals living with dementia and their families. This video looks at how recognising daily challenges can lead to timely diagnoses and support for those facing this condition, and for those looking for help to recognise dementia.

Caroline explains how simple routines, like making tea, are often the ones that stand out when someone is starting to suffer the early stages of dementia. It may be that they forget to boil the kettle, or forget where the mugs are. It' the simple thing that can start to impact the daily life of a dementia sufferer, and as their loved ones we need to be aware of these subtle signs.

Explore the significance of engaging in activities, such as music therapy, doing puzzles or simple social interaction, which helps to maintain cognitive health and independence, especially in the elderly and those already living with dementia.

Recognising Dementia: A Call to Action

 The video serves as a call to action for viewers to become more aware of the signs of dementia and to take proactive steps in seeking help. Caroline's mission is to illuminate the path for families who may be struggling with the uncertainty of a dementia diagnosis. By fostering an environment of understanding and support, she hopes to demystify the condition and encourage open conversations about it. In conclusion, Caroline Ignatius's dedication to improving the lives of those living with dementia through her company, Devika Care Company, is both inspiring and essential. Her personal experience, combined with her professional expertise, has led to the development of services that not only address immediate needs but also promote long-term well-being for patients and their families. This video is a vital resource for anyone looking to understand dementia better and to find the support they need in this challenging journey.
