Inspiring Success Stories from Across Gurgaon
Real families share how dedicated dementia care at home transformed their lives
Mrs. Sharma’s Journey: From Isolation to Connection
Background: 72-year-old Mrs. Sharma, a retired school principal, was diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Her family in DLF Phase 4 struggled with her increasing isolation, agitation, and refusal to participate in activities she once loved.
Challenge: Mrs. Sharma became withdrawn, frequently agitated, and had trouble sleeping. She resisted personal care and often accused family members of stealing her belongings. Her daughter, who lived nearby, was experiencing severe caregiver burnout.
At Home Care Intervention: We assigned a specialized dementia nurse with experience in education-based cognitive stimulation. The nurse implemented a structured routine incorporating Mrs. Sharma’s love for teaching through simple activities. Safety measures were installed in their DLF apartment, and medication management was optimized.
Transformation: Within three months, Mrs. Sharma’s agitation decreased by 80%. She began engaging in simple “teaching” activities with the nurse, finding purpose in sharing knowledge. Her sleep patterns improved, and she resumed participation in simple household tasks. Most remarkably, she began recognizing family members more consistently and enjoying brief social interactions.
Family Impact: “The transformation has been nothing short of miraculous,” says her daughter. “We have our mother back—not exactly as she was, but a version that’s calm, engaged, and happy. The nurse didn’t just provide medical care; she understood Mom’s identity as a teacher and built care around that. We now have quality time together instead of constant crisis management.”
Mr. Verma’s Progress: Managing Advanced Dementia with Dignity
Background: 78-year-old Mr. Verma, a former engineer, was living with advanced vascular dementia in his Sector 56 home. His family was struggling with his increasing care needs, frequent falls, and difficulty managing his complex medication regimen.
Challenge: Mr. Verma had difficulty communicating, experienced frequent falls, had poor nutrition, and was hospitalized three times in six months for infections. His wife, his primary caregiver, was exhausted and overwhelmed by his 24/7 needs.
At Home Care Intervention: We provided 24/7 specialized nursing care with a focus on comfort, dignity, and safety. Our team implemented fall prevention measures, optimized medication management, and developed a nutrition plan that accommodated his swallowing difficulties. We also incorporated simple engineering-related activities that connected to his professional identity.
Transformation: Over six months, Mr. Verma had no hospitalizations—a significant improvement. His fall risk decreased through consistent monitoring and environmental modifications. While his cognitive decline continued, his quality of life improved dramatically. He experienced less pain, better sleep, and moments of connection when shown simple engineering diagrams. His wife was able to resume some personal activities, knowing her husband was in capable hands.
Family Impact: “We were at our breaking point,” his wife shares. “The At Home Care team gave us back our lives. They don’t just care for my husband—they care for our whole family. The nurses treat him with such dignity and respect, focusing on what he can still do rather than what he’s lost. We’ve had six months without emergency hospital visits, and I can finally sleep at night knowing he’s safe and comfortable.”
Mrs. Reddy’s Renewal: Reconnecting Through Music and Memories
Background: 68-year-old Mrs. Reddy, a classical music enthusiast, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Living in South City 1 with her husband, she became increasingly withdrawn, forgetting even her favorite music and showing little interest in activities she once cherished.
Challenge: Mrs. Reddy’s memory loss was progressing rapidly, causing her significant distress. She would often become agitated when unable to remember names or events. Her husband, a retired professor, was struggling to manage her care while dealing with his own health issues.
At Home Care Intervention: Our South City team developed a care plan centered around music therapy and reminiscence therapy, leveraging Mrs. Reddy’s lifelong passion for classical music. The nurse, who had training in music therapy, incorporated familiar songs into daily care routines and created opportunities for Mrs. Reddy to connect with her musical past.
Transformation: Within weeks, Mrs. Reddy began responding to familiar music, sometimes singing along or moving rhythmically. Her agitation decreased significantly, and she started showing interest in listening to classical recordings again. While her memory continued to decline, she experienced moments of clarity and connection when engaged with music. Her husband reported that they were able to enjoy concerts together again, creating new memories even as old ones faded.
Family Impact: “Music has been the bridge back to my wife,” her husband explains. “The nurse understood that music wasn’t just entertainment for her—it was part of her identity. By incorporating it into her care, they’ve given us back moments of connection we thought were lost forever. We still face challenges, but we now have joy in our days together, not just sadness. That’s the greatest gift they could have given us.”
Mr. Khan’s Stability: Finding Peace in Familiar Surroundings
Background: 80-year-old Mr. Khan, a retired businessman with Lewy body dementia, was experiencing severe hallucinations, sleep disturbances, and fluctuations in cognitive function. His family in Nirvana Country was considering moving him to a care facility due to safety concerns.
Challenge: Mr. Khan’s symptoms were particularly challenging—he would often see people who weren’t there, had vivid nightmares, and experienced sudden changes in alertness and cognitive function. These symptoms made home care extremely difficult and raised safety concerns for his family.
At Home Care Intervention: Our Nirvana Country team, specializing in complex dementia cases, implemented a comprehensive approach focusing on symptom management, environmental modification, and caregiver education. We coordinated with his neurologist at Medanta to optimize medication timing and dosage. The nurse developed strategies to address hallucinations and created a predictable routine to minimize confusion.
Transformation: Over four months, Mr. Khan’s hallucinations decreased in frequency and intensity. His sleep patterns stabilized, and the fluctuations in cognitive function became less severe. He became more engaged during his alert periods and was able to participate in simple decision-making about his care. Most importantly, he was able to remain in his beloved home in Nirvana Country, surrounded by familiar objects and memories.
Family Impact: “We were at the point of considering institutional care, which broke our hearts,” says his son. “The At Home Care team gave us another option. Their expertise in Lewy body dementia made all the difference. They didn’t just manage symptoms—they understood the unique challenges of this condition and tailored care specifically for Dad. Now he’s stable, comfortable, and still at home where he belongs. We can’t thank them enough for giving us this time together.”
What Families Say About Their Experience
Heartfelt testimonials from families who have witnessed the transformation in their loved ones
A New Beginning in DLF Phase 2
“When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, our world fell apart. The constant confusion, agitation, and sleepless nights were taking a toll on our entire family. We reached out to At Home Care as a last resort before considering a care facility. The difference has been extraordinary. Within weeks, Mom’s agitation decreased significantly. She’s sleeping better, eating better, and even engaging in simple activities. The nurse assigned to us doesn’t just provide medical care—she understands Mom as a person, with a history and preferences. We now have quality time together instead of constant crisis management. This isn’t just care—it’s a new beginning for our family.”
– Priya Nair, DLF Phase 2
Peace of Mind in Sector 46
“As a working professional in Sector 46, I was struggling to care for my father with vascular dementia while managing my job and family. The guilt was overwhelming. At Home Care has been a lifeline. Their team provides consistent, compassionate care that has transformed Dad’s quality of life. He’s more alert, less confused, and even enjoys small outings to the neighborhood park. What surprised me most was how they supported our entire family—not just Dad. The regular updates, education about dementia progression, and simply knowing there’s someone knowledgeable watching over him has given me peace of mind I hadn’t thought possible. I can now be a daughter again, not just a caregiver.”
– Rajiv Malhotra, Sector 46
Dignity Preserved in Sushant Lok
“Watching my husband, a once-vibrant college professor, decline with frontotemporal dementia has been heartbreaking. What hurt most was seeing his dignity slip away. At Home Care’s team in Sushant Lok has been remarkable in preserving that dignity. They treat him with respect, engage him in simple academic discussions, and create moments where he shines. They’ve taught us how to communicate with him effectively and manage challenging behaviors. The transformation isn’t about curing his dementia—it’s about helping him live well despite it. He’s calmer, more engaged, and still the intelligent man I married, even if he can’t always express it. This care has given us back precious moments of connection.”
– Ananya Sharma, Sushant Lok
Family Reconnected in Golf Course Road
“Dementia was tearing our family apart. My mother’s condition caused constant arguments among siblings about care decisions, and we were all exhausted. At Home Care didn’t just provide nursing care—they helped heal our family. Their coordinated approach ensured we were all on the same page about Mom’s care. The regular family meetings, education sessions, and simply having a professional to guide us made all the difference. Mom is doing better than ever—calmer, healthier, and more engaged. But the biggest transformation has been in our family relationships. We now work together to support Mom instead of fighting about care. The peace and unity they’ve brought to our family is beyond measure.”
– Vikram Singh, Golf Course Road
