Progressive Cognitive Improvement in an Elderly Female with Dementia Attending Day-care Services
This case study presents the clinical course of an 84-year-old female diagnosed with cognitive decline and associated comorbidities, who was enrolled in a day-care facility at Vatavriksh Senior Care. The intervention focused on psychosocial engagement, structured activities, and medical monitoring. Serial cognitive assessments were conducted using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment over a period of 5 months. The patient demonstrated measurable cognitive improvement, with scores rising from 8/30 at baseline to 24/30 by the fifth assessment. This case highlights the potential benefits of day-care-based interventions in managing dementia and enhancing quality of life.
