Sustainable Living at Jagriti Dham: The Premier Luxurious Old Age Home in Kolkata

Living in luxury as a senior citizen is no longer a luxury. India’s understanding and expectations of retirement living are changing radically. A generation ago, old age homes, loosely defined, were seedy buildings with narrow rooms and limited scope for socialising. Senior living has come a long way since.

India now finds itself in the midst of what experts are calling the “Silver Economy”. Fuelled by seniors who won’t settle for sub-par living standards, ASSLI’s latest industry report tells us India is in the midst of a boom in senior active communities in India.

Redefining luxury by offering senior citizen retirement homes built around health, dignity and holistic lifestyle.

That said, there are two big trends currently at play within the industry:

First, how we understand luxury is expanding to include eco-friendly living.

Secondly, while previously families and seniors looked at senior citizen retirement homes in Kolkata for sheer luxury, they are now also looking for options that are investment-ready for the future.

Together, they represent a major overhaul of what it means to age with grace and comfort. Let’s take a closer look at how:

Say goodbye to “Old Age Homes” and hello to “Residential Retreats”

An “old age home”, by previous industry standards, was where you sent your parents to die. But business-savvy developers know that’s not an appealing sales pitch. We’re now seeing retirement communities market themselves as ‘homes’, or better yet, resorts.

These senior living communities in Kolkata provide housekeeping, cooks for you and help you rediscover old hobbies you never had time to pursue in your 9-5 job.

Here’s the catch.

India’s senior citizen population is expected to double by 2050, and they aren’t lazy grandparents who can be content with broken closets and hardwood floors. India’s new senior citizens are educated, financially stable, and have some serious buying power. They want resorts. They want Residential retreats.

Experience the pinnacle of luxury living under one roof at Jagriti Dham

When it comes to retrofitting luxury for our senior family members, Jagriti Dham, a luxurious old age home in Kolkata, is the gold standard. A specialised, purpose-built senior living residency located in Kolkata within Merlin Greens, a gated community on Diamond Harbour Road.

Eastern India’s first IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) Platinum-rated green Building for Senior Living. But how does that help your parents, you ask?

Let’s dive into how our initiatives in sustainable living improve senior health.

• Increased Daylight (97%): Sunlight helps stabilise our circadian rhythms (internal clocks), which regulate mood. As we age, we produce less serotonin, which can lead to the “sundowner” effect. Sunshine keeps mom and dad happier…and dendiler.
• Stable Temperature: Energy star-rated fixtures and plant roof help maintain air temperature and keep the hot Kolkata sun at bay. This is important because elderly folk are more prone to heart disease, which is affected by sudden changes in temperature.
• Improved Air Quality: Limited VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and zero-toxic paints mean the air residents breathe is cleaner.

When looking for the best luxurious old age home in Kolkata, ensure that the buildings are Green Certified. Just like you would verify if they have round-the-clock nurses and doctors on call.

Comprehensive Care: Beyond the Basics

Luxury starts at the springs on your mattress and ends with the medical scanners in Jagriti Dham’s state-of-the-art healthcare centre. When it comes to taking care of your family, there is no such thing as too many safeties.

That’s why, along with:

• 24/7 nurse on-call
• Free in-house ambulance
• Fitness centre
• Jogging tracks

Jagriti Dham, a luxurious old age home in Kolkata, thinks about your parents’ healthcare holistically with:

• Ayurveda Centre: Jagriti promotes wellness and preventive care through its fully-functional Ayurveda centre, named Jivagram. We also offer yoga studios and meditation rooms.
• Nutritious Food: Since senior citizens have special dietary needs, Jagriti provides delicious in-house dining. Expect 5-star meals cooked by expert chefs who cater to all dietary restrictions.

An Active, Vibrant Community

Throw away those Bingo cards. Today’s senior living facilities in Kolkata prioritise community. The number one fear your parents have about retirement homes is loneliness. Jagriti Dham kills it in both sizeable grounds and abundance of activities.

From Durga Puja and Christmas celebrations to gazal nights and picnics, families and guests are always welcome at Jagriti.

Residents tend to keep busier schedules here than they did in the office. With an AC library, card room and home theatre, life at Jagriti is about creating a community centred around like-minded folks.

Why Location Matters

Kolkata is a city that deeply cherishes its elders, yet the frantic pace and pollution of the city centre can often impact their well-being. Consequently, many families are now seeking a healthier, more serene lifestyle for their parents amidst the lush greenery of the city’s outskirts. At Jagriti Dham, a luxurious old age home in Kolkata, you’ve got both.

Located far from the bustle (and pollution) of Kolkata but close enough to major cities, parents can enjoy life at their own “resort”. In fact, 43% of our campus is green cover!

Our best old age home in Kolkata for you means giving you the peace of mind you’d get from living in the sticks without sacrificing accessibility.

Final Thoughts

India is finally stepping up to give our elderly parents the retirement (and post-retirement) they deserve. Through powerful combinations of sustainability and luxury senior living, homes like Jagriti Dham are showing India that life after 60 is about rejuvenation.

Whether through lead-free, high-quality fixtures or a 24-hour nurse-car ratio, we hope you take some time to learn what makes Jagriti Dham so special.
