Retirement life and care for the elderly are becoming more challenging all over the world. As life expectancy, cost of living, and healthcare expenses increase, senior citizens are struggling.

A group of healthcare professionals with proven track records in elder care in the USA is taking the challenge to set up MedCity, a state of the art retirement community with continuum of care for the elderly in Kerala, India. This five star retirement community with over one lakh square feet is located in a hospital hub area near Kottayam, Kerala.

Old age is an unavoidable fact—the last chapter in every individual’s life. The majority of us forget that we will come to this phase. When it finally arrives, we are not prepared for ourselves or our loved ones. Knowing that someone is always there for you gives you a sense of security. Luckily, MedCity is offering skilled nursing and long term care for the fragile elderly as part of its continuum of care.

Old age homes were not accepted in the Indian culture until recently. Children felt guilty when they were forced to send their parents to old age homes. Times have changed, and outlooks have changed. Even if the relationship between the parents and children is absolutely fine, living together has become difficult in the modern society. The “joint family system” having ebbed away, nowadays privacy is required for both the young and the old. Nuclear families have become the norm of the day. As several children are working and living abroad, elderly parents are struggling to get proper care. Loneliness, psychosocial problems, criminal targeting, physical dependency, insecurity, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other chronic and acute medical conditions have made their life alone at home nearly impossible.
