Impact of NMT

We have transformed the lives of elders and their families through compassionate accessible dementia and elder care services that restore purpose and dignity.

Nightingales Medical Trust eldercare services

Nightingales Medical Trust, a leading eldercare organization in India has had a lasting impact on the quality of life of elders, particularly persons with dementia in India, going beyond the boundaries of age, gender, special needs, livelihoods, and economic status. Its work addresses the most urgent demographic shifts in the country – that of growth of the elderly population in India and the growth and detection of dementia in elders.

NMT outreach

Personalization of Eldercare and Addressing a Wide Gamut of Issues

NMT has personalized eldercare through caregiver training services, dementia residential and day-care centers, residential facilities such as Smriti Gram, elder abuse helplines, and jobs for those 60+ to cater to every need of the elderly. This has structured and widened its impact across every channel of eldercare. The efforts that have gone into these separate initiatives are proof of the glorious vision of the people at the helm of Nightingales Medical Trust and the people in the various teams who have tirelessly contributed to the impact the organization creates.

NMT training and awareness activities

Advocacy Awareness Campaigns that Have Stood the Test of Time and Place

The Trust’s advocacy and awareness initiatives have particularly created a shift in public perception. By normalizing conversations around aging and dementia, NMT has contributed to reducing stigma and encouraging very early diagnosis and intervention. Through collaborations with community stakeholders, hospitals and policymakers, it has extended its reach even beyond Karnataka to Kerala and the Lakshadweep (with its RRTC initiative).

Sustainability is Another Key Marker in NMT’s Vision for Growth

This is another key dimension of impact. By training caregivers, nurses, social workers, and community volunteers, NMT strengthens the broader healthcare system rather than only functioning as a care service partner and provider. If this ensures sustainability for its dementia care services, the mobile active ageing program does the same for its active ageing initiatives transforming ordinary daycare centers into caregivers par excellence.

Towards a Better Society

NMT’s impact extends beyond direct beneficiaries to families, professionals, and policymakers, contributing meaningfully to a more age-inclusive society and building a society where every elder feels cared for and respected.

Testimonials

Voices from families we care for.

“

Best care for my mother...

“We were skeptical at first when we decided to bring our mother to Nightingales Centre for Ageing and Alzheimer’s but as soon as my sister and I stepped into the institution and talked to the doctors, we felt assured that this was the right place. We finally had someone who could explain to us the nature of the disease, provide the medicines that will help soothe my mother, and provide individual care without having to impose on her space and freedom. Setting a routine in an expanded, yet controlled environment, we found, was critical. As the months went by, we felt her grow calmer, more relaxed and more vocal. Only at NCAA, were we able to understand the unique problems that came with dementia and we finally felt that she was able to get the help that she required. My mother has been here for over 7 years now. Even though her physical faculties have reduced considerably, we are very sure that the best place that she could be taken care of is in NCAA. And we are grateful every day to all of the staff who take such loving care of my mother.”

Excellent quality of care...

“My mother is a long term resident of ETCM - Nightingles Dementia Care Centre at Kolar for the last 3 years. I am very happy with the level and quality of care that is provided to my mother.

Drastic change in mother's health

“My mother has greatly benefitted from the program conducted by the Red Cross - Nightingales Trust Dementia Care Centre. She is involved in many creative activities on a daily basis like drawing, puzzle solving, cooking and Physiotherapy at the Centre. I have seen a drastic change in her health and activity since she has been enrolled. She seems to be mentally happier, and physically active. She truly has a great time with the volunteers and staff there. I would like to thank the team for this wonderful improvement in my mother’s life.”

Great place for my mother...

“We were worried to leave our aged mother alone at home when we had to go out for work. After a long search NMT seemed to be the best place in terms of facility and care. So having trusted we have placed her in these safe hands. We are now at peace. They keep her busy with activities so that she doesn’t feel left alone. The care shown towards her is very heart warming. It’s amazing to see how she’s become calm and more alert and is getting more involved in daily activities like reading newspaper and helping us in folding the clothes. We are immensely grateful for the staff for taking care of my mother so patiently and keeping her in safe hands...”

We are at peace…

“My aunt is a changed person after she started coming to Nightingales Trust Dementia Day Care Centre. She looks forward to going to the Centre everyday. NMT has been a blessing too for us, her caregivers. While we are at work we are at peace knowing that she is safe and sound under your care. We are truly thankful and grateful for the wonderful effort each one of you is putting in, for making the lives of dementia patients more meaningful and in turn helping the caregivers breathe easier. A big thank you.”

Father looks forward to the Centre...

“About 8 years, we noticed a change in my father. My mother was the first to point it out. He sometimes wasn’t sure where he was and he forgot things. He being the head of the family and independent we relied on him for everything. It was very difficult for him and all of us to accept his condition His doctor referred us to your organization. At the beginning stage he was very reluctant to come to the Centre but as the days went by he enjoys doing activities and physiotherapy that you provide. He enjoys interacting with people and doing group activities. He even teaches the staff or other residents in the organization about Pranic healing. He is always happy and cheerful when he comes to the Centre. My father’s doctor was particular that he goes for walks. He is given sufficient exercise at the Centre. It is much safer than going for walks on the streets. We are very grateful that you provide caring transportation and we don’t have to worry about his safety. I hope you continue to help him and other patients in the best possible way.”

“I am impressed by Nightingales Medical Trust in their professionalism and in understanding the specific needs of my father. My father is taken care with love and affection.Every time he comes back home he is very happy and looks forward to go to the Centre again. We see how he enjoys doing the activities in the center and has started writing again. I am very happy with the service Nightingales Medical Trust is providing and the staff here are always co-operative. Keep up the good work”
