Hope Ek ASHA

Dr. Sushma Chawla’s (Founder President) mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1996. The disease was diagnosed in the second stage. It didn’t come alone; it also brought a lot of stress, anxiety and abundant responsibilities for Dr. Chawla, a medical practitioner. With all her medical expertise she was taking care of her mother while the irreversible disease progressed into the last stage. From a daughter, she became an efficient and devoted caregiver.

Finally, the imminent eventuality stared at her face one day. Dr.Chawla’s mother left for heavenly abode leaving behind the trauma of pain and the agony that this disease wreaked on the family members. Her mother’s name was Asha and after her loss, Dr. Chawla decided that she would help caregivers wherever she can with her experience and will not let them live without the hope that there is life with Alzheimer’s. This is how Hope Ek A.S.H.A. was formed on the premise that Dementia does not mean life comes to a standstill for senior citizens; rather it is something that can be managed with patience and the right kind of care.
