ASHRAYA – HOME FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
Ashraya – Home for Senior Citizens is located at Haradi, near Brahmavar. It is located in a campus adorned with tree lined walkways and lawns with benches to sit on. Ashraya boasts of the the best contemporary lifestyle facilities for its residents. Also, Kamal A. Baliga Medical Center is situated in the same campus. This facilitates any routine or emergency medical care that might be required. The presence of Dr. A. V. Baliga Institute of Social Sciences and Rural Management also in the same premises ensures that Doctors, Nurses and Counselors will be present round the clock in the campus.
Ashraya was founded with the aim of providing a facility to take care of Senior Citizens. With the years, a string of physical and mental afflictions would have caught up with them. In some cases this might even hinder them from doing their routine tasks. They might require special care and attention, which many a times family members may not be in a position to give. Further, due to occupational obligations of others in the family, the aged tend to be left alone at home. Situations similar to these necessitate a facility such as Ashraya. At Ashraya, the effort is to make residents feel comfortable and taken care of.
