From Serene Gardens to Ayurvedic Healing: Discover True Comfort at Jagriti Dham, a Luxurious Old Age Home in Kolkata

Finding a suitable new home for an elderly loved one is a unique and emotional journey for any family in Kolkata. It’s a path a son, daughter, or even a grandchild must walk with love, care, and deep thought for their parent or grandparent. There is a realisation that the last stage of life has to be as graceful, dignified, comfortable, and most importantly, happy as possible for these near and dear ones who have always been there for you. When talking about retirement, old age homes, and senior living, the entire focus so far has been on the obligatory aspect of it — ensuring safety, medical care, and maintenance of life. But what if it could be so much more? What if it could be a conscious choice for an active, healthy, enjoyable, and more fulfilling life for your near and dear ones? You deserve nothing less than the best for the people you love the most, and that is exactly what we are here to provide at Jagriti Dham, the most luxurious Old Age Home in Kolkata.

If you are a parent making this decision about the future of your children or the child of a senior looking at care homes for elders in Kolkata, then this article is for you. Read on to find out about the top amenities at Jagriti Dham that are setting a new standard for what you can look for in a senior living community in Kolkata.

Walks in the Park: Beautiful Gardens and Green Walkways

With its crowded, narrow roads, Kolkata is not exactly a city you would want to go out for a morning or evening stroll. We at Jagriti Dham get that and have kept open green spaces and beautiful gardens, and tree-lined walkways a top priority. Spread over 150 acres of beautifully landscaped area, we have the space for every resident to get out for a walk in the morning or evening and explore at their own leisure. 

Walking is the best exercise for seniors as it is both gentle on their bodies and easy to do. But more than the physical benefits, which are many, seniors just love to stroll through the campus of the old age home they live in and socialise with other residents while they are at it. Imagine your mother or father sitting on a bench for a morning cup of tea in the gardens. Sounds idyllic, doesn’t it? We make it happen every single day at Jagriti Dham. Our lush gardens are a big draw for our residents and their families, and they are among the things that make us a premium old age home for seniors in Kolkata.

Not only are these green spaces great for strolls and getting some fresh air, but they are also central to the holistic lifestyle we provide at Jagriti Dham. Senior-friendly exercise areas for outdoor fitness, picnic spots for family gatherings, and quiet corners for reading and relaxation are all part of our estate. We have consciously created a residential retreat within the city that is as calming and invigorating as a stay in a hill station, right in the heart of Kolkata. This love for all things green has more than a practical benefit. They connect us to nature and help to maintain an active lifestyle, provide some space for getting some much-needed fresh air and sunlight, and give residents a quiet spot for introspection or meeting up with a friend. This, coupled with the availability of various sports and hobbies within the premises, makes Jagriti Dham an active senior living community.

For a body, for a mind, for the soul: Yoga and Meditation

The golden years are the perfect time for seniors to live a healthy, spiritual, and intentional life. There is no reason why living a mindful and purposeful life is just for the young. With the growing awareness about how a healthy body supports a healthy mind, our Yoga and Meditation Room has been a major attraction for our residents as well as people at the stage of retirement looking at old age homes in Kolkata.

Our trained instructors teach yoga asana classes for seniors, keeping in mind their abilities and range of motion. Yoga for seniors provides a great way to maintain flexibility, prevent falls, strengthen muscles and bones, and manage the aches and pains that can come with age. But yoga is also a practice of the mind and the breath, and is a great way to calm and de-stress, help with focus and concentration, and create a sense of peace and balance that can carry over into all aspects of a senior’s life. Meditation too has many benefits and can be particularly useful for seniors to help them manage stress, improve attention and concentration, and feel more relaxed and at ease. Our Yoga and Meditation sessions are among the most popular activities at Jagriti Dham, and you can see residents attending classes regularly or sometimes just spending time by themselves or with their friends in our Yoga and Meditation Room. We are an active senior living community that provides holistic benefits to seniors.

Feed the mind, feed the soul: Library at Jagriti Dham

A good book is one of the great joys of life that people develop over the years, and it’s never too late to start either! Reading is a favourite pastime for many of our residents and also families with seniors in Kolkata, looking at old age homes. At Jagriti Dham, we have a well-stocked library filled with all kinds of books, magazines, and newspapers.

We make sure that whatever your mother or father enjoys — Bengali literature, English classics, lifestyle magazines, daily newspapers, you name it, we have it. Our library is a quiet and air-conditioned space for seniors to spend time reading and keeping up with the world, or simply taking a much-needed break with a good book. We have seating arrangements both indoors and outside under a tree, and our garden library is a wonderful space to sit outside in the fresh air and read while also being in nature. Our library is a place for the mind and soul to be nurtured, and we make sure it is equipped with all the best books and reading materials for our residents.

Rest easy, we have you covered: 

We know that for parents, family, and near and dear ones looking at old age homes for senior citizens, the deciding factor for a home is the kind of medical support it has on campus. If it didn’t provide round-the-clock medical support, then it may not make the final list. We at Jagriti Dham not only get it, we are the gold standard by which others are compared. So, how do we make sure that all your bases are covered, worries laid to rest, and you can rest easy knowing that the health of your loved ones is in safe hands?

• We also have everything from oxygen supply, nebulisers, wheelchairs, and much more to ensure that our residents have access to everything they may need, when they need it.

The Ayurvedic Way: Ayurvedic Center at Jagriti Dham

Ayurveda is not just a system of medicine but a way of life, and many seniors find solace and benefit in its ancient wisdom. At Jagriti Dham, we have an Ayurvedic center called Jivagram, that provide you access to Ayurvedic therapies and consultations. Ayurveda helps our residents in natural ways to promote rejuvenation, stay in balance, and prevent or manage the common health conditions that come with age. Massages are one of the most relaxing therapies and something most seniors can benefit from to help with mobility, circulation, energy, and so on. We have Ayurvedic practitioners on staff who can also work with seniors on a customised wellness plan to take care of their health and needs. Ayurveda at Jagriti Dham is a luxury not many other old age homes in Kolkata can offer and we are glad to be a home where not only our residents but anyone can visit us and can get holistic and traditional healthcare and therapies all under one roof.
