Dementia Care | Expert Diagnosis & Treatment
Receiving a dementia diagnosis is life-changing – for the patient and the entire family. The condition requires more than medical treatment; it demands patience, expertise, and a deep understanding of how dementia affects behaviour, memory, and independence. Sukino’s dementia care programme in Bangalore offers a continuum care model – from diagnosis support and treatment coordination to daily caregiving and family counselling.
About Dementia Care
Dementia is not a single disease but an umbrella term for a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60–80% of cases. India has an estimated 5.3 million people living with dementia, and this number is projected to triple by 2050.
Sukino’s dementia care centres in Bangalore and across India provide medically supervised, compassionate care designed around each patient’s unique stage, personality, and needs.
Dementia care encompasses specialised medical treatment, cognitive therapy, and compassionate daily support for individuals living with Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, & related conditions. Early diagnosis, personalised care planning, and a structured environment are critical to slowing progression and improving quality of life.

Our Treatment Approach
- Assessment & Dementia Diagnosis: Our neurologists and geriatric psychiatrists conduct comprehensive cognitive assessments using standardised tools (MMSE, MoCA, CDR). Brain imaging (MRI/CT) and blood tests help rule out reversible causes and confirm the type of dementia.
- Personalised Dementia Care Plan: Each care plan is tailored to the patient’s cognitive stage, behavioural profile, physical health, and family circumstances. We integrate pharmacological management with non-drug therapies for the best outcomes.
- Therapy & Treatment: Our programme includes cognitive stimulation therapy, reminiscence therapy, music and art therapy, occupational therapy, and behaviour management techniques. Medications are prescribed and monitored by our neurologists.
- Monitoring & Recovery: Regular cognitive reassessment tracks progression. Care plans are adjusted as the disease evolves. Families receive ongoing education, counselling, and respite support.
