Elder Care Trust

With increased life expectancy, the age group above the 60s is rapidly increasing in India. As per the census of 2011, there is about 117 million elderly in India, which is estimated to cross 250 million by 2025. With rising healthcare costs and life-expectancy rates, the elderly would like to seek a life of dignity and respect without losing their independence.At the same time, they require continuous support and care, including basic day-to-day living support even for things as simple as walking to the bathroom. Therefore with time, the elderly become a burden to family and friends - especially if they are on meager incomes. 
 Elder Care Trust provides continuous medical as well as non-medical care and support to these elderly. It also addresses the loss of dignity, elders have to bear when they become dependent on others for their daily activities in their twilight years.Old Age Care Center for patients in the senior citizen category- Palliative Care, Post Operative Care, Cancer Care, Dementia, Alzheimer’s care, etcImpacted the lives of Terminally Ill / Bedridden / Dependent senior citizens through the hospice care provided in the center.

Help provide welfare for the Aged Patients

Help Destitute Senior Citizens live a dignified life. So many of these Elderly find themselves in a precarious position, when they are left alone - due to death of their near ones, or children staying separately - most often in other city or country, or any other reason. Help support these seniors to lead a healthy &amp; happy life. They deserve it.

Help Destitute Elderly

“The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved”- Mother Teresa‘Elder Care Trust’, a non-profit organization that is committed to providing inclusive healthcare to elderly patients. Elder Care Trust is raising funds for its care center for the terminally ill senior citizens in Ahmedabad.At present, we have around 30 senior citizens at our care center and all of them suffer from terminal diseases like dementia, Alzheimers, cancer, paralysis, etc. Many of them are too weak to walk up to the washroom and need constant care and attention. We strive to provide them with the best preventive, curative and rehabilitative care, with an intention to minimize their physical pain and suffering.We have a team of committed caregivers, who take care of all their needs with utmost dedication and love. A caregiver is assigned for every two members so that they receive personalized attention. Every day, they are served four freshly prepared meals along with dietary supplements like milk and juices as per their needs. We also provide them geriatric support and counseling so that they are never overwhelmed by their condition and understand the specific ‘dos and don’ts’.At ElderCare Trust, we understand that giving our members the best medical care and alleviating their physical pain is just not enough. Senior citizens at our center have been contributing to society all their life and they deserve all the happiness, joy and love during this last leg of their lives. So, we aim to create a holistic environment for them. With an intention to encourage companionship, various outdoor and indoor recreational activities are carried out on a daily basis. We celebrate festivals and birthdays with gusto and also organize fun events like comedy shows or ‘yoga for the elderly’ on a timely basis.At ‘Elder Care Trust’, we have so far had the privilege to serve and learn from more than 100 senior citizens since our inception. One thing that I have realized, is that these ‘veterans of life’ are the guiding light to an otherwise insensitive society lacking in compassion and that we need them much more than they need us. Their profound wisdom and the unconditional love they shower upon us is something to be treasured and they are to be cherished, rather than to be inhumanly deserted as they reach the twilight of their lives.
