Though very few in number, there are elder care organizations in different parts of the country willing to provide the support we need for the care of the elderly in our homes. This is an endeavor to list the geriatric care facilities available in India.
1. Care for Seniors
A guide to finding the right service for your elderly parents in India
2. Intro
Pressure at workplace, travel, relocation and kids are some of the
factors that distance us from our elderly parents who may be in
need of daily/regular care.
We need professional help to keep an eye on the senior folks at
home while we are away and/or busy.
There aren’t many geriatric care facilities available in India.
However, things are slowly changing. Some professional as well
as non-profitable organizations are extending a helping hand.
I have listed some of the available resources which may serve as
a lead in times of need.
I would like to share it with all my friends and welcome their
inputs and suggestions.
3. Daily Care Calls & SOS Calls
