Dementia Care

What is Dementia Care ?

Dementia is a condition where there is a gradual and progressive loss of cognitive skills resulting in loss of motor, emotional, social, physical and sensory skills. This condition first affects the brain and then progresses to other parts of the body due to impaired signal perception from and by the brain. The symptoms may range from the loss of visual perception to loss of focus, memory, communication skills, decision making and more. Patients suffering from dementia will usually be put on special nursing care

  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.
