Commenting on the day, Greg Kuriakose Jacob, Caremark India’s Chief Operating Officer said: “This was all a team effort. Everyone in the office was working with great support from the UK office for a common goal of making this launch a great success.
I am looking forward to even greater success in the future for our company in Cochin.” Caremark India will be providing high quality care and support to older adults, in particular those who are struggling with Alzheimer’s and other dementia related conditions, enabling them to live safe, independent lives at home with their families. Alzheimer’s disease already affects thousands of older people in India. There is a huge demand for home care which is currently not being met and with a population of 36 million in Kerala alone, this is presenting a significant challenge for many people. The new home care service has been welcomed in Cochin and is expected to make a significant difference to many families and their loved ones.
