Cadabam’s Adrutha is an amazing place for people with mental health issues. It gives you a safe, secure, independent, natural place to let your wards thrive and sustain their living. My sister is 45 years old, and she has lived here for almost 6 years in this rehab, and she loves it.
Cadabams has helped us so much. Our grandmother was fighting dementia, and she was suffering a lot. Cadabams Rehabilitation helped her. The doctors there were very helpful and caring. They regularly kept in touch with us to give an updated about her.
My father was fighting dementia, and it was difficult to manage it at home. We searched for support for him, and we found Cadabams. They helped us immensely, they cared for him, and he seems so happy there. Thank you Cadabams.
My son was suffering from Schizophrenia. We tried many places to get him treated but none worked. We heard about Cadabam's and once we stepped in here, our lives changed. They have helped us immensely and my son is recovering. I never thought I would see him enjoy life again. Thank you Cadabams.

After a dementia diagnosis, post-diagnostic support programs offer a mix of services. This includes medical consultations to manage symptoms, psychotherapy for emotional adjustment, caregiver training to build skills, and assistance in planning for long-term legal and financial matters. This holistic approach helps families adapt and maintain quality of life.
Early support is crucial because it empowers patients and families with knowledge and tools right from the start. It helps establish effective symptom management strategies, slows functional decline, and allows for timely future planning. This proactive approach improves long-term care outcomes and reduces family stress by building a strong support system early on.
While post-diagnostic support cannot cure or reverse dementia, it can help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being. Therapies, lifestyle modifications, and proper medical care can help maintain cognitive function for longer and manage behavioral symptoms effectively. This focus on care and support significantly enhances the individual's quality of life.
This program supports caregivers by providing essential education on dementia care techniques, stress management strategies, and emotional counseling. It equips them with the confidence and skills to handle challenging behaviors and reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. By supporting the caregiver, the program ensures better care and a healthier environment for the patient.
Legal preparation is crucial as it helps an individual with dementia ensure that their wishes are followed as the disease progresses. An individual can prepare documents like:
- Power of attorney
- Living trust
- Advance directives
- Guardianship
- Standard will
