In India, Geriatric Care; Care of the old and infirm has never been on the agenda even at the Hospital level.
Exclusive care for the Elderly has never been an issue at the level of policy makers or the health care providers, at the most it is restricted to drawing up of a list of diagnostic services that one offers for the senior citizen and hereto it is not holistic.
The system and procedure that we plan to develop is a comprehensive holistic care for the elderly necessitating care at their own home or in a organizational set-up wherein - Preventive, Primary health care, Acute and Long-term care services are provided so that they are independent with highest levels of functioning and dignified living.
The Idea Is a Health Plan & so also a Health Care Provider for the ever growing senior citizen Populace.

Addressing Needs of The Senior Population.
Healthcare remains as one of the most important needs for seniors.
Seniors are more prone to get affected by ill health than younger groups. Ageing is usually always accompanied by various physical and mental ailments. Thus, healthcare considerations must be kept paramount when looking at housing solutions for seniors.
Levels of Care
Besides catering to basic needs such as housing,nutrition,security and convenience aspects, wellness needs of seniors are of prime importance - Providing better and preventive healthcare, engagement ,companionship and planning for higher levels of dignity and dependence. As seniors move from being 'young seniors' to 'elder seniors' from their 60's to 80's, the needs of seniors undergo radical changes. As a result, the person needs higher levels of care and is facing age-related health changes like vision / hearing impairment, arthritis, and forms of dementia. Taking this into consideration, senior living projects globally propose a concept of 'age in place' where all required facilities are present within the same campus so that the senior does not have to move out of the campus with age.
Independent Living
The continuum of care for seniors begins with Independent Living (IL). Typically, an IL unit is not different from traditional housing but is better designed from an architecture standpoint with various design interventions taking care of seniors. There will be better lighting, mobility facilitation, and aspects of universal design. Bathrooms and kitchens are designed to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, hallways and doors are wider and tiles and flooring are anti-skid. Socialization plays an important role in uplifting the atmosphere of the IL and improving the health stature of the residents.
Assisted Living
Assisted Living (AL) units allow residents to have access to care workers who can assist the residents in day-to-day activities. It is possible in the Indian context to merge IL and AL and having provision for care worker rooms within the IL units. Such care worker units could double as an office in the younger stage and allow for a 24/7 care worker stay if required in later years. Both in IL and AL, residents have access to short and long term nursing needs, if and when necessitated, while enjoying the environment similar to their home. This reduces the need to travel to hospitals and also instills a healthy form of lifestyle so as to slow effects of ageing.
Skilled Nursing Care
Skilled Nursing Care (SNC) provides residents with nursing care facility. It has provision for taking care of physical or mental disabilities and the residents are provided with physical, occupational
and rehabilitative therapies. Services increase considerably in this stage – with availability of nursing aides and assistants; physical, occupational and speech therapists; social workers and recreational assistants; and transportation. Greater care is required in a timely and appropriate manner. The prime objective during this stage is to provide a holistic and yet home-like environment to the residents. This allows for a continuum of care and residents benefit from having all facilities in one campus-like environment.
NOTE : Most projects in India currently are Independent Living projects whereas continuing care communities are a global trend.
