Athulya Senior Care, India’s largest assisted living provider, inaugurated its third Integrated Geriatric Care Centre in Mathikere, Bengaluru.
With more than 300 dedicated senior care beds across Bengaluru, Athulya is now the city’s largest provider of integrated geriatric care.
Demand for elder care rises
Older adults account for 9.2% of Karnataka’s population, among the highest proportions in India, according to the Sample Registration System (SRS) 2021.
The new centre aims to expand access to specialised geriatric healthcare, cognitive care and long-term support services for senior citizens.
Centre offers integrated care
“As Karnataka prepares for the healthcare needs of an ageing society, strengthening geriatric care infrastructure will play an increasingly important role in ensuring healthy ageing and improving quality of life for senior citizens,” said Karnataka Health & Family Welfare Minister U.T. Khader.
“Facilities that provide integrated healthcare, rehabilitation and long-term support complement the government’s efforts to enhance elder care across the State,” he said.
Mathikere centre has 100 beds
“Bengaluru has emerged as one of India’s fastest-growing destinations for specialised senior care, driven by increasing life expectancy, changing family structures, and greater awareness of assisted living,” said Athulya Senior Care, Founder & CEO G. Srinivasan.
“Karnataka is a key market in our long-term growth strategy, and the launch of our Mathikere centre marks another significant milestone in strengthening our presence in the State,” he said.
Focus on specialised care
The Mathikere facility has around 100 beds and has been developed exclusively for senior citizens. It offers a comprehensive continuum of care under one roof.
“Our new Mathikere facility has been designed with this philosophy at its heart. As Bengaluru continues to grow as a global city, we believe specialised geriatric care will become an essential component of its healthcare infrastructure,” said Athulya Senior Care, Founder & Managing Director R. Karthik Narayan.
