hi renu,Dear RR ji,
Never underestimate the power of a senior citizen!LOL
A list is great.
But a list with price, quality of life and personal knowledge would be better.
hi naina sir,
the list is great and painstaking...thanks....just curious about pricing and affordability....recently my mother joined a retirement home near chennai....the name is in the list....i dont want name it here...but ok for her...i had a feeling that the colorful pamplets are than a reality...a lot of colorful ads/brochures....but inside story is different....
Most of the senior resorts are for making huge money, just like creches. ….For an elderly couple in my extended family, we searched for such a resort in Sing. Chennai and nothing was less that Rs. 8,000/ per month per person. They could not afford that much money and hence opted an old age home at Palakkad. They get brahmin's food suitable for the elderly and shell out roughly Rs. 3,000/ per month per person. This includes accommodation + food. But, some of the inmates objected to admitting them because that mAmA is a nonagenarian!
The senior whom we refer to as 'Casino mAmA' has shared many of his experiences in several senior resorts, with me !A list is great.
But a list with price, quality of life and personal knowledge would be better.
I have condensed the 8 or 9 pages of listing into just 4 pages.
Here is the first page:
This list has been painstakingly prepared by the Probus Club of Chennai.
Deep appreciation for their efforts.

hi sir,As I said earlier in my reply to VGane , there is a huge demand for taking care of Senior Citizens all over India especially South India ( mostly TN ) as most of South Indians have migrated abroad for higher studies and career and many of the parents of such people come in the Category of 70+ and these are the people who need lot of services like home cooked food , retirement homes , etc etc and that demand is so huge that there is a big gap between supply and demand and many fly by night operators who operate purely for profit and business motive have entered the scence ( like caterers , old age resot builders etc ) .I am not against people making money but there must be some professionalism and sense of service in delivering these sort of facilities .In fact in TV few months back an Educational Consultant said that it is high time Universties start introducing Courses on Old Age Care so that we can deliver much better trained service personnel to this growing demand of Old Age Care . In the past these sort of Institutions were started by some Individuals with real service motive and they were supported by Philanthropists but now many Real Estate Developers with excess and unproductive land banks are starting these sort of ventures for purely profit motives . As of now Only the Rich who can afford the premium services are getting some decent service and as to the rest it is a tough call .
Dear Ganesh,
Wow, the PK influence is so much that P J Sir is now P K!
Refer your reply to P J Sir, please!
if money is not a constraint one could opt for homes by TATAs and Paranjape these homes are inhi sir,
i had three different old age home exoeriences in and around chennai...im not happy with anyone...but what to do?...
convniences and compromise are the key word....even money is not a big deal....quality of the service as mentioned
in the ads are different...
Big hope.lolAs we all know aging is inevitable and everyone long for graceful aging. And the secret to achieve graceful ageing lies mostly in the intake I mean the food we take, viz balanced diet. What is important is not the quality of the food but the nutritious value is more important. Food may be delicious, but at the same time it should be also good our health. It is more important that we should keep an eye on our health and be fit to take care of ourselves and dependents too.
When age grows energy diminishes and we become victim to age related ailments like heart problem, arthritis, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, etc
A nice life style, good habits, balanced diet and happy environment are all blessings.
And I hope the retirement homes will guarantee the above.
hi sir,
.......i had three different old age home experiences in and around chennai...im not happy with anyone...but what to do?....
