Old
Age home for Care, shelter & Protection of homeless Elders

Senior citizens,
especially widows, mainly due to lack of financial
independence get neglected by the society as well as by the
near relations. This group virtually has to become homeless
and pass their life in most miserable conditions. To
care, protect and give them shelter, medical care, mental
peace, occupational and spiritual activities, recreation etc
the Old Age Home started in the year 1993-94. In this Project
priority is always given to those senior citizens who have
developed mental disorder, as these groups do not generally
get any kind of help and support. With this idea in view, we
have started such a home named ABHOY ASHRAM with the capacity
to give shelter for 30 residents including mentally ill women.
A team of trained staff provides proper care in respect of
their health hygiene, nutrition physiotherapy, medical
support, skill development service and skill development for
vocational and occupational activities. The sponsoring agency
for this project is the ministry of Social Justice and
empowerment, Govt. of India.
