What they say...

We were skeptical at first when we decided to bring our mother to Nightingales Centre for Ageing and Alzheimer’s but as soon as my sister and I stepped into the institution and talked to the doctors, we felt assured that this was the right place. We finally had someone who could explain to us the nature of the disease, provide the medicines that will help soothe my mother, and provide individual care without having to impose on her space and freedom. Setting a routine in an expanded, yet controlled environment, we found, was critical. As the months went by, we felt her grow calmer, more relaxed and more vocal. Only at NCAA, were we able to understand the unique problems that came with dementia and we finally felt that she was able to get the help that she required. My mother has been here for over 7 years now. Even though her physical faculties have reduced considerably, we are very sure that the best place that she could be taken care of is in NCAA. And we are grateful every day to all of the staff who take such loving care of her.

My wife, Meera Gurunathan, has been with you for the past one year. I wish to thank everyone at Nightingales Centre for Ageing and Alzheimer's for the wonderful way you have taken care of her. Any time I come there, I have been received with a smile. The doctors, the office staff, the nurses, the care givers and all the other staff take exceptional care of the residents. I am sure I would not have been able to take care of her at home, as you have been taking care of her.
My son and his wife join me in saying 'Thank You' for the wonderful way you have taken care of her.

FAQs

We provide a comprehensive range of services for dementia. It includes an outpatient memory clinic, day care, short term or respite care, in-patient admission for assessment and treatment of challenging behaviours, training of caregivers - both family and professional and long term residential care.

An initial assessment in the memory clinic is done to ascertain the diagnosis and the needs of the patient. The family is then taken for a tour of the facility. Once they decide on the type of room, formalities for admission are completed. All long term admissions have to be preceded by a short term admission. This allows us to assess the patient better and also allows the family to ensure that they are getting the best care possible before committing to long term admission.
