Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that leads to memory loss, cognitive decline, and changes in behavior. It is the most common form of dementia, a group of conditions that cause impairment in thinking, memory, and daily functioning. Alzheimer’s disease occurs when abnormal protein deposits, including amyloid plaques and tau tangles, accumulate in the brain. This disrupts the communication between nerve cells and leading to their eventual death.
Aster Hospitals is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease through a multidisciplinary approach. Our team of neurologists, geriatric specialists, and healthcare providers work together for symptom management and creates personalized care plans. We use advanced diagnostic techniques, like MRI scans and genetic testing, for early and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Aster Hospitals also focuses on supporting patients and caregivers with cognitive therapies, structured routines, and educational resources to improve quality of life. We offer after-treatment support to patients and also educate their families on how to manage the disease effectively by providing them with tools and strategies to cope with the emotional and physical challenges of Alzheimer’s patients.
