The world is graying rapidly due to increased life expectancy. Because people are living longer, they are facing a number of health issues. Dementia is one of the leading health problems that is affecting numerous older persons around the globe. It is expected that the number of people living with dementia will double every 20 years. Dementia is a progressive disorder that demands assistance and support for most activities of daily living. Caregivers (usually family members) are taking care of persons with dementia and this is a demanding task. Caregivers often suffer from physical, emotional, social, and financial problems as a result of caregiving. Services, programs, and interventions are essential to support caregivers in order to improve both their physical and psychological well-being. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the different support services that are available in the United States, India, and Nepal. This study also compared support services/programs to determine the best type of programs for developing countries such as India and Nepal. For this study, articles that met specific criteria were reviewed. All of these articles described evidenced-based programs that were beneficial in improving caregivers' experience including measures of caregiver's bother, burden, depression, and negative health.

For this study, articles that met specific criteria were reviewed. All of these articles described evidenced-based programs that were beneficial in improving caregivers' experience including measures of caregiver's bother, burden, depression, and negative health.
520 $a This study also revealed that there is a treatment gap for individuals with dementia in India, and Nepal. Due to the lack of resources and inadequate infrastructure, dementia is still stigmatized in most parts of these countries. There are very limited services both for the person with dementia and their caregivers. This was especially evident in Nepal, where the number of individuals with dementia is not proportionate with the number of trained health professionals.
520 $a Additionally, the government is not taking any specific steps that would benefit people with dementia and their caregivers. This study concludes with recommendations for services and interventions that were found to be effective for caregivers and would be culturally acceptable and affordable in both India and Nepal.
