KITES Senior Care, a Geriatric care services provider founded by Rajagopal G, Dr A S Arvind, and Dr Reema Nadig, announced its entry into Chennai with the launch of a new “state of the art” facility in the heart of the city, T.Nagar. The new facility with about 15,000Sq ft of built-up space is equipped with 45 beds of luxurious air-conditioned rooms (both single & twin sharing), High Dependency Unit (HDU) beds, a large & modern therapy hall apart from consultation suites, a prayer room & activity hall. The centre will provide specialised geriatric care services including post-surgery and post-hospitalisation rehab care, and palliative care.
Rajagopal G, Founder and CEO of KITES Senior Care said, “India's elderly population has witnessed a significant growth, rising from 104 million in 2011 to 138 million in 2021. This upward trend is projected to accelerate, with estimates suggesting that by 2050, our elderly population will triple, constituting 20% of our nation's total populace. This demographic shift underscores the paramount importance of creating robust, comprehensive care systems tailored to their needs. While many developed countries have established 'out of hospital' geriatric care systems, India is just at the dawn of this transformative journey. This paradigm encompasses varied care avenues, from nursing homes and hospice facilities to memory care centres and home-based care – the latter of which has been gaining impressive traction in recent years. To ensure that we cater holistically to the needs of our senior citizens, a full-fledged implementation of all these care components is crucial. With the inauguration of Ahavaa KITES Senior Care Centre in Chennai, we're marking yet another pivotal step in our commitment to serving India's elderly with the care and dignity they rightfully deserve. We thank Mr Reji Abraham, Ms Kavya & Mr KAV Ramesh Kumar for their trust in us and giving us this opportunity to expand in Chennai.”
