I am concerned about persons with dementia and their caregivers, and while I am not an “official” dementia care expert, or indeed, an expert of any sort, I share my experiences, perspective and suggestions/ tips with family caregivers for persons with dementia in India. I also create and update online resources for dementia caregivers in India; these are available in English and Hindi. My concern and commitment for this sphere of work comes from the challenges I have faced myself and my multiple interactions with other caregivers who shared their experiences, their problems, and their triumphs with me.
The main online resource sites I have created for dementia caregivers are at:
- English website for dementia caregivers in India: Dementia Care Notes
- Hindi website for dementia caregivers in India” Dementia Hindi
- Youtube channel with English and Hindi videos on dementia awareness and dementia caregiving suggestions/ tips: Dementia Care Notes India’s Youtube Channel
- Blog to share experiences as a caregiver and other related introspections: Swapnawrites WordPress Blog
- Youtube channel to share personal caregiving experiences: Swapnawrites Youtube Channel
- Hindi blog on dementia: Dementia Hindi WordPress Blog
I maintain the above resources, and periodically review them to augment some topics/ coverage, or add some pages/ documents/ videos. I also try to respond to any queries I get as appropriately as I can, sharing whatever I know or can suggest(though whether that will actually help I can’t say ЁЯЩВ
