Artemis Geriatric Excellence Launches Dementia Care Discounts for Senior Citizen Day 2025

As our parents grow older, it’s natural to notice small changes associated with memory and cognitive behaviour. You may notice them forgetting their glasses, repeating stories, or feeling confused more often. While it is natural for people above 65 years of age to experience these symptoms now and then, however, if these signs persist or worsen with time, it may indicate something more serious, like dementia.

This Senior Citizen's Day, on 21st August 2025, Artemis Hospitals is extending a compassionate hand to families navigating the complexities of memory loss and ageing. AGE (Artemis Geriatric Excellence), our geriatric excellence care is offering FREE CONSULTATIONS and DISCOUNTS on diagnostic investigations and vaccinations for seniors aged 65 and above. 

Understanding the Early Signs of Dementia: When To Seek Consultation?

While it's easy to dismiss occasional forgetfulness as a normal part of ageing, not all memory lapses are harmless. When chronic memory loss begins to disrupt daily routine or affect personal relationships, medical intervention becomes significant.

In case of dementia, signs and symptoms may be gradual and subtle. Many families overlook the early signs until the condition progresses and becomes harder to manage. Therefore, it is crucial to recognise the early symptoms and seek professional consultation early on. Here are some common warning signs that may indicate the need for a geriatric consultation:

Forgetfulness

Consistently forgetting names, important dates, appointments, or where everyday items are kept.

Repetition

Asking the same questions repeatedly or telling the same story multiple times in a short span.

Disorientation

Losing track of time, date, or familiar surroundings, such as getting lost while walking in a known neighbourhood.

Confusion

Struggling to follow conversations, directions, or recognise familiar people or places.

Hallucinations

Seeing, hearing, or sensing things that aren’t there, a more advanced and serious symptom that requires immediate evaluation.

Social Withdrawal

Avoiding social interaction, hobbies, or family gatherings, often due to embarrassment or confusion.

If your loved one is showing early signs of dementia, it is important to seek medical consultation. Early diagnosis can prevent the condition from getting worse and improve the quality of life. 

If you are looking for the right care, Artemis Hospitals is offering exclusive benefits to help you take that first step. We are offering a free geriatric consultation with memory assessment, along with 20% off on elderly vaccinations and 50% off on diagnostic investigations for seniors aged 65 and above on this Senior Citizen’s Day (21st August 2025). 

These time-limited offers are designed to make expert dementia care more accessible because when it comes to memory loss, early action can make all the difference. 

What Are The Causes and Risk Factors of Dementia?

Dementia is a condition caused by damage to brain cells, which disrupts their ability to communicate effectively. This damage stems from various diseases or conditions, leading to a decline in memory, thinking, and other cognitive skills significant enough to interfere with daily life. Key causes of dementia include:

• Alzheimer's Disease: The most common cause, characterised by the build-up of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. These changes damage brain cells, especially in areas related to memory and learning.
• Vascular Dementia: Results from strokes or microscopic bleeding that block blood flow to the brain.
• Lewy Body Dementia: Caused by abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in brain cells.
• Frontotemporal Dementia: Due to degeneration of brain cells in the frontal and temporal lobes.
• Mixed Dementia: When brain changes from more than one cause occur simultaneously, such as Alzheimer's combined with vascular dementia.

While some risk factors like ageing and genetics cannot be changed, adopting a healthy lifestyle can reduce or delay the risk of dementia. These healthy choices include a balanced diet, regular exercise, managing cardiovascular conditions, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, staying socially active, and seeking timely medical care. Certain risk factors increase the likelihood of developing dementia. Non-modifiable risk factors:

• Ageing (risk significantly increases after age 65 and even more after 80)
• Family history and genetics

Modifiable risk factors (lifestyle and health-related):

• Cardiovascular diseases (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol)
• Smoking and heavy alcohol use
• Poor diet and physical inactivity
• Social isolation and depression
• Hearing loss or untreated vision loss
• Head trauma or recurrent brain injuries
• Exposure to air pollution
