Description
Jayashree Dasgupta examines the strain of caring for a person with dementia at home in India. Most Indian care is paid out of pocket, and few services target dementia. Custom once placed elders inside large joint families. That pattern is fading as women take jobs and kin move away for work.
Dasgupta draws cases from families who used an eldercare firm in Gurugram over five years. The cases show the pain of children abroad whose parents falter alone. They show only children with no backup, and families split over money and moves. She calls for trained home aides, family support, and tech tools shaped to Indian life.
