‘Snehdhara’ Old Age Home is run by Srijan Foundation for the care of the elderly. A major issue faced by the elderly people is their loneliness, where Srijan Foundation provides a family atmosphere for them. Every member creating a group constitutes one family.
So far 14 people have been taken to their homes through this initiative. These were the people who had strayed from their homes and were given shelter in Snehdhara.
In order to create a busy environment for the elderly, the home industry of the elderly has also been started here. With the help of elders, incense sticks are prepared in Snehdhara.
People love to celebrate their birthday, marriage anniversary or other such type of events, being around elders, receiving blessings from the elders, imparting contentment to the elderly.
Snehdhara perpetually make efforts to root out the concept from the minds of people that not only those people who have been thrown out of their homes are allowed to join the old age homes but Snehdhara is open to even those elderly also comes who are not married, whose children have died spontaneously or those whose children have gone to live abroad. Old age homes provide health safety to the elderly as well as facilitates being around with the people of similar age.
Snehdhara does not take any government grant and it’s been operational from last 5 years only with the immense public support.
