The total elderly (above 60 years) population in India is about 104 million as of 2011 census,
and growing. Consequently, West Bengal is home to a significant elderly population.
The urban scenario is that the younger generations like son/daughters/close relatives
are placed in different cities of West Bengal or India or abroad for their livelihood/job/
business related activities which keep them away from their parents and close ones for a
considerable period of their lives. The senior citizens are mostly left to fend for themselves
in times of illness and emergency situations.It has been widely discussed and acknowledged
that the senior citizens living in any big cities are helpless in emergency conditions or
during illness.
In our endeavor to reach out to the community and mitigate such situations, we as a
team with our own modern Hospital have after much deliberations realized that the
best solution in the given situation would be to give holistic support and developed the
concept of HOME CARE unit of the Hospital. The unique feature of this Hospital is that
it is set up, run and managed by the doctors themselves. Thus giving it an extra edge over
other hospitals. This idea of care, is formulated in such a way that when the elderly people
are in need of urgent medical attention or face unforeseen critical health issues in absence
of their kins, this Hospital will take care of the situation and take necessary steps with
its dedicated staff and doctors.
The holistic care comes in the form of premier MEMBERSHIP at the Hospital, when the
patient becomes part of the Hospital Family.
The activities andthe services are detailed in the Home care modules are given below.
