In this episode of The Mohua Show, Neha Sinha — Dementia Specialist, CEO, and Co-founder of Epoch Elder Care — shares powerful insights on dementia, caregiving, ageing in India, and the urgent need for better elder care systems.


Drawing from her personal experiences growing up with her grandparents, Neha explains how that early exposure shaped her mission to transform elder care in India and support families navigating dementia and age-related illnesses.


This conversation explores the emotional, psychological, and social realities of caregiving — from caregiver burnout and guilt to the stigma families face when seeking professional help.


As India’s population ages rapidly, the episode highlights why structured, compassionate elder care systems are essential for the future.



In this episode, we discuss:

• The hidden emotional cost of caregiving

• Why dementia affects the entire family, not just the patient

• The guilt many children feel when seeking professional elder care

• Caregiver burnout and why it’s rarely talked about

• How dementia slowly changes identity, memory, and relationships

• Loneliness, purpose, and what ageing looks like in modern India

• Why India urgently needs a stronger elder care ecosystem

• Preparing for longevity — living longer with dignity and purpose



What this episode is really about:

Understanding the realities of caring for ageing parents.

Not silent suffering.

Not unrealistic expectations of family caregiving.

But honest conversations about:

• Recognising caregiver burnout

• Accepting that asking for help is not abandonment

• Supporting families navigating dementia and chronic illness

• Building compassionate systems for an ageing society

If you’re interested in dementia awareness, caregiving realities, ageing with dignity, elder care in India, and mental health for caregivers, this episode offers both perspective and practical insight.
