Celebrating Our Journey

In pursuit of the perfect theme for our tenth anniversary, we found ourselves, on a seemingly ordinary Tuesday, gifted with a profound insight: “Ninaivo Oru Paravai”– Just like life’s simplest truths, it was there all along, waiting to be seen.

Dr. Sridhar Vaitheswaran , Additional Director & Consultant psychiatrist at the SCARF,Schizophrenia Research Foundation. He has been the visionary head of theDEMCARES project since 2015. Dr. Sridhar’s interests lie in building capacity among health care staff and developing services to improve care of persons with dementia in Chennai.

And here we are to celebrate a remarkable milestone with you: a whole decade dedicated to dementia care!This decade-long journey wasn’t just about time’s passage; it’s a testament to the profound difference we’ve made, driven by love, patience, and unwavering commitment. For us, Dementia care is a mission incredibly close to our hearts.

"The Father"

To mark this significant milestone, we’re presenting a powerful theatrical experience: Florian Zeller’s acclaimed French play, “The Father.” This compelling performance offers a profound and immersive journey into the lived experience of dementia, seen through the eyes of the protagonist.
