Alzheimer's Disease — Comprehensive Care & Support with Dr. Chirag Gupta

Alzheimer’s disease is more than memory loss — it affects identity, relationships, and everyday living. At Dr. Chirag Gupta’s clinic, we treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Our Alzheimer’s services combine modern diagnostics, personalized medical management, cognitive rehabilitation, and compassionate family support to help patients and caregivers maintain safety, dignity and quality of life.

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain condition that slowly impairs memory, thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform daily activities. While memory problems are often the earliest sign, Alzheimer’s can also cause changes in planning, language, judgement, mood and personality. Early, accurate diagnosis and a tailored care plan can slow decline, treat symptoms, and improve wellbeing.

Early detection & accurate diagnosis

Early diagnosis is essential — it opens the door to better planning, effective symptom management, and access to support services. Our diagnostic approach includes:

• Detailed medical and cognitive history (family, medications, onset and progression of symptoms).
   
• Neurocognitive testing to measure memory, attention, language and executive function.
   
• Neurological examination to identify coexisting movement or sensory issues.
   
• Targeted laboratory tests to rule out reversible causes (vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, infections).
   
• Imaging (CT/MRI) and, when appropriate, referral for advanced imaging to clarify the diagnosis.
   

Dr. Chirag Gupta interprets all findings in the context of the whole person — their health, lifestyle, and goals — to produce a clear, empathetic diagnosis and a step-by-step care plan.

Personalized treatment plans

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for Alzheimer’s. We design individualized plans that may include:

• Evidence-based medications to help manage symptoms and possibly slow progression.
   
• Management of coexisting conditions (hypertension, diabetes, sleep disorders) that influence cognitive health.
   
• Non-pharmacological strategies: structured routines, environmental adjustments, memory aids and behaviour management techniques.
   
• Lifestyle recommendations focused on brain health: physical activity, nutrition, sleep hygiene and social engagement.
   

Our goal is to preserve independence as long as possible while keeping patients comfortable and safe.

Multidisciplinary team care

Alzheimer’s care is most effective when it’s a team effort. Dr. Gupta works with neurologists, neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, physiotherapists, social workers and community support groups to create an integrated plan. This team-based approach helps address medical, functional and emotional needs simultaneously.

Cognitive rehabilitation & occupational therapy

Cognitive rehabilitation goes beyond testing — it’s active training to strengthen functioning and develop compensatory strategies. Services may include:

• Memory training and compensatory techniques (calendars, cueing systems, task breakdown).
   
• Problem-solving and executive function exercises tailored to daily activities.
   
• Occupational therapy to adapt the home environment, enhance safety, and maintain independence in grooming, dressing and other routine tasks.
   

Behavioural management & mood support

Changes in mood, agitation, sleep and behaviour are common and distressing for families. We focus on:

• Identifying medical or environmental triggers.
   
• Non-drug interventions first (structured routine, calming environments, meaningful activities).
   
• Careful, evidence-based use of medications when non-pharmacological measures aren’t enough.
   
• Support for anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances — conditions that make cognition worse if left untreated.
   

Caregiver education & family support

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is emotionally and physically demanding. We provide:

• Practical training for caregivers (communication strategies, safe transfers, managing challenging behaviours).
   
• Care planning guidance for finances, legal decisions and future living arrangements.
   
• Access to local support groups and community resources to reduce isolation and burnout.
   
• Regular check-ins and respite planning to preserve caregiver health.
   

Safety, planning & transitions of care

Safety is paramount. Our team helps families plan proactively:

• Home safety assessments and recommendations (fall prevention, wandering precautions, medication management).
   
• Advance care planning conversations that respect patient values and legal needs.
   
• Guidance on when to consider additional support: day programs, in-home care or assisted living.
   
• Smooth coordination with hospitals, rehabilitation centres and long-term care facilities when transitions are needed.
   

Why choose Dr. Chirag Gupta’s clinic?

• Patient-centered care: Decisions are guided by each patient’s goals and life story — not just test results.
   
• Evidence-led approach: We balance the latest medical knowledge with practical, human-centred strategies.
   
• Collaborative team: Specialists work together so no aspect of care is missed.
   
• Clear communication: We explain diagnoses and options in plain language and involve families in every step.
   
• Compassion & continuity: We provide ongoing support as needs change across the disease course.
   

Real-world help — not just medical care

We believe successful Alzheimer’s care blends medical treatment with everyday solutions. From setting up simple memory tools to redesigning a home layout for safety, our recommendations are concrete, tested, and easy to implement.
