Old Age Care Center
“No elderly person should be like an exile in our families. The elderly are a treasure for our society.” — Pope Francis
Aging is an inevitable process, genetically determined and environmentally influenced. As individuals grow older, they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. However, the harsh reality is that many elderly persons are abandoned, neglected, and left to fend for themselves. After a lifetime of hard work, many elderly individuals find themselves without financial support, relying on their children for care. Unfortunately, this often leads to feelings of burden, resulting in abandonment in public places, such as trains and pilgrimage centers. Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan - Old Age Care Centre is dedicated to providing shelter, love, and fellowship to the elderly. Our centre is subdivided into three main units:
