26 Feb, 2022 , Care Homes

According to the last Census conducted in 2011, India has 104 million senior citizens and is expected to increase 3 times to 340 million by 2050. A survey by Delhi-based NGO Agewell Foundation found that almost every fourth elderly; 23.44% of the 10k respondents, were living alone in the country. The proportion of seniors living alone in Southern India is also higher as compared to Northern India due to the huge migration of the youth to the Middle East. South is where the concept of senior living homes originated. We’ve always had old age homes but senior living homes were much better in terms of living, facilities and care provided.
