Construction of a Geriatric Care Facility
We have commenced the construction of a new Geriatric (end-of-life) Care block adjacent to the Mother Teresa Joy Home for the Aged. The block would consist of ground floor, first floor and second floor with a total living area of about 9000 sq.ft. This block would be equipped with a dispensary (clinic), emergency medical room, physiotherapy / massage room, lift, ramp and other need based facilities. The approximate budget for this project is ₹2.5 Crores equivalent to about $3,000,000 USD.
We invite you to contribute towards the construction of the Geriatric Care block and help us provide a dignified end-of-life care for the elderly. Your donations will play a crucial role in enhancing the services we offer to the senior community, ensuring they receive the care and attention they truly deserve.
