HOW IT STARTED

An Old Age Home, Vridhashram, was started in 2015 as the Foundation’s first initiative. The concept, design, staffing, processes and procedures for the Vridhashram result from plentiful research, extensive interaction with management and residents of numerous old age homes, consultation with NGOs, and seeking advice from visionary individuals. Drawing from their experiences and insights, every detail has been meticulously planned to ensure that elderly individuals from different backgrounds feel at home and are afforded the dignity and care they deserve in their later years. Based on the feedback, modifications are carried out to the processes and functioning.

Life at Vridhashram

The Foundation’s efforts focus on developing a bond among residents so that they can find family, company, and support. Residents discover freedom from pain and suffering as they sit in small groups on the beautiful lawns. With time, the wounds left by years of neglect are healed by the dignity with which they are cared for. 

The community at large and various volunteer groups’ efforts bring joy and reduce trauma. Local communities conduct spiritual activities like havan and kirtan and hold spiritual discourses with the residents every month. A few citizens and organisations sponsor gifts and items for the residents’ daily use. Some citizens sponsor meals commemorating special occasions.
