General tips for locating relevant resources:
- A list of local services can usually be obtained by surfing the Internet using keywords and the name of the city, such as “home nursing Delhi”, “dementia care Delhi”, “old age homes Delhi.”
- Combine your search string with various versions of the city/ nearby region name in searches, such as Delhi, New Delhi, Dilli, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, NCR. So, a search could be “old age homes Delhi” or “dementia Noida”
- The larger hospitals of the city will usually have memory clinics to help the initial diagnosis of a patient. Search for “memory clinic Delhi” and other such phrases.
- The reception/ nurses at local hospitals often know about agencies that supply attendants/ nurses for home care.
- Many large path lab services also provide home pickup of blood samples.
