Anandam- A Home for the Homeless - Vijay Mandir & Dadikar , Alwar & in Noida

Caring for the sick and destitute is a complex process. The risks of disability, chronic illness and destitution are processes exacerbated by poverty and other forms of structural inequalities. Cultural patterns, prevailing attitudes and expectations – all need to be factored in while honing in on a model of appropriate care. We believe in ensuring that a person who is not fully capable of self-care can maintain the highest possible quality of life, according to his or her individual preferences, with the greatest possible degree of independence, autonomy, participation, personal fulfilment and human dignity.

We also believe that their first right is to reside with their own families if possible. Hence, our aim is to give them medical and supportive care until they are healthy enough for being rehabilitated with their families. In this way, SAPNA has been instrumental in restoring several sick and infirm people to their families. There are some unfortunate ones who do not have a home or have been abandoned by their families or are unknown. Some are even in a comatose state. Anandam at Alwar (Rajasthan) acts as a feeder for such survivors from Trauma Centre (AIIMS) and Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi who are in need of recuperative care and support.

The organisation provides shelter to the sick and destitute; by ensuring their health and well-being. We keep patients at Anandam- Vijay Mandir & Dadikar, Alwar & One Short Stay Home at Noida. We provide immediate care support to patients discharged from Safdarjung Hospital, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, and Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre. We try giving them such an ambience where patients can actively start participating in day to day activities. As they start recovering from their ailments, our social workers start engaging them in activities of the organization.

Patients from Anandam, Vijay Mandir had to be often brought to Delhi for checkups and in cases of emergencies. A short-stay home in Delhi has come in handy to meet our needs. Its objective is to extend support for poor and needy patients who come for treatment to Apex Government Hospitals such in Delhi. Depending upon the diagnosis, the patients stay for about a fortnight and entail recovery from a serious medical event such as an accident or multiple trauma, paralysis, or orthopaedic or surgical procedure.

Presently, Anandam is providing shelter to 110 patients out of which 30 are female.

Your support will cover the expenses of medicine & medical treatment, nutrition, salary of social workers and ambulance transportation.
