Elder care at home in Kolkata, wherever you live.

Homes in Kolkata

Kolkata has many old houses and buildings, some several generations old, alongside newer apartment blocks in the growing parts of the city.

• Old houses with high ceilings, steep stairs and tall steps
• Red oxide and mosaic floors that are smooth and slippery when wet
• Bathrooms added later, sometimes up or down a step from the bedroom
• Buildings without lifts where parents live on an upper floor

Weather and safety in Kolkata

Kolkata is hot and humid for much of the year, with a heavy south-west monsoon from about June to September and waterlogging in some areas.

• Humidity and damp that keep floors and walls wet
• Waterlogged streets that keep parents indoors for days
• Hot, sticky summers that tire older people quickly

When the family lives far away

Many Kolkata families have children who moved to Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai or abroad for work, while parents stay on in a home full of history. Getting home quickly is rarely easy.

After every visit you get an update in the family app, and calls with your care manager are planned around your time zone.

What we usually look at first in Kolkata homes

Every home is different and the assessment decides the plan, but in this city we often start with:

• Steep stairs and tall steps: rails and edge marking
• Smooth old floors and damp bathrooms
• Upper-floor living without a lift: daily routine and SOS options
