Printable one-pagers. Use them when you visit any care home in Dhaka — including ours. If a home cannot answer the staffing and medication questions on the first sheet, that tells you most of what you need to know.
| ADLs | Activities of daily living — bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, moving. Care levels are set by how many need help. |
|---|---|
| Assisted living | Residential care with help for daily routines, but not a nursing ward. Nurse on call rather than at the bedside. |
| Memory care | A secured unit with a higher staff ratio and fixed routine, designed for dementia. |
| Palliative care | Care aimed at comfort and symptom control rather than cure. It can run for months alongside treatment. |
| Deprescribing | Reviewing and stopping medicines that no longer help — often the fastest way to reduce falls and confusion. |
| Step-down care | Supervised recovery between hospital and home, usually two to eight weeks. |
