INTRODUCTION
In this post, I am profiling some of the senior living options available in the cities of Bangalore, Kochi, Trivandrum, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Chennai and Puducherry.
The senior living communities featured here are the new and upcoming ones which are fully fitted out with top of the line infrastructure, having focus on senior friendly design specifications, ample healthcare and recreational facilities, hospitality and concierge services.The differentiating factors would be-
a) whether they are stand-alone projects or part of a larger township having other apartments
b) whether they are based on a rental model or available for purchase.
While individuals would have their own preferences regarding the above, it would be worthwhile to do a background check on the service provider , their experience and expertise in the area of senior care. Ultimately, this is what will have a major bearing on the quality of life in a retirement community, irrespective of the fancy facilities and infrastructure.
Some of the major players in the South such as Columbia Pacific Communities and Covai Care specialise in managing and providing services in communities spread across different cities, which are developed in collaboration with an established builder.
Note:
The details furnished below are based on whatever is available in the public domain, supplemented in some cases by clarifications provided by the respective customer service departments.
