Retirement Communities in North India, East India and Western India

 INTRODUCTION
  In this final post on retirement communities, I am profiling the senior living projects in the North, the East and Western India. Based on whatever is available in the public domain, I have taken up mostly the new and upcoming projects in Rajasthan, Dehradun, National Capital Region (NCR) in the North, Kolkata in the East, and Pune and Ahmedabad in Western India.
All these projects are fully fitted out with various senior friendly fitments  and also a host of recreational, wellness, and other facilities that have become the norm in the new crop of retirement communities that are being set up.                                                         



                                                        NORTH INDIA

                                                                   RAJASTHAN
ASHIANA HOUSING

In the North, Ashiana Housing was one of the earliest to venture into the area of senior living. Their first project in 2005 was in the form of independent living units at Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. Over the years, they have expanded their operations to other cities such as Jaipur, Lavasa (Pune) and Chennai. Their projects at  Bhiwadi and Jaipur, which  also have  Care Homes,are  based on the concept of Continued Care Retirement Communities (CCRC), which offers three levels of services  within the same community -  namely. active/ independent living, care at home services and assisted living -  to cater to the progressive  need for daily assistance  as residents age and their health deteriorates. Their newer projects are also expected to gradually establish Care Homes.
Their newer projects include the following-

1) ASHIANA NIRMAY  (off Alwar Road,  BHIWADI )

This project, spread over 8.5 acres, comprises of  1 BHK, 2 BHK and 3 BHK  units (850 sq.ft. to 1570 sq.ft) priced between Rs.33 Lakhs  and  Rs. 67 lakhs.  While Phase 1 has been completed, bookings are open for Phase 2.

2) ASHIANA UTSAV  (Kalwar Road, JAIPUR) -( for Independent Living and Assisted Living)

This is a completed project of  low-rise apartments with 1, 2 and  3 BHK  apartments(825 sq.ft. to 1480 sq.ft), with prices ranging from Rs. 25 lakhs to Rs. 63 lakhs.
