According to the Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for the management of dementia, families providing care in the community are advised to access support from community health workers like Accredited Social Health Activities (ASHAs)/volunteers of palliative care services or local chapters of organisations such as ARDSI (Shaji et al., 2018).

In addition, other dementia organisations like NMT and private attender agencies like Portea, Life Circle Elder Care and more, run few home-based care programs primarily in urban areas where paid attenders are available to support home-based care.
