Elder Shelter & Care

A caring home. A life of dignity.

Many elders are left alone in their final years. At Shanti Dham Ashram, destitute senior citizens receive a safe place to live, meals, medical help and the companionship of a family — free of cost.

  • Free shelter and nutritious meals
  • Bathing, grooming and clean clothes
  • Medical check-ups and medicines
  • Bhajan-kirtan, yoga, meditation and festivals together

Medical & Eye-Care Support

Helping care reach those in need.

Illness is a heavy burden for someone with no one beside them. We arrange check-ups and medicines for residents, go with them to hospital, and bring care to the ashram — such as the free eye-test camp held there on 2 July 2024 with Dr Shroff’s Eye Hospital, Noida, which also carries out the cataract operations.

  • Health check-ups and medicines for residents
  • Going with residents to hospital
  • Free eye-test camp at the ashram with Dr Shroff’s Eye Hospital, Noida (2 July 2024)
  • First aid for people on the street

Support for Underprivileged Children

Every child has the right to learn.

Children from low-income families near our centres often miss out on support with their studies. We hold study sessions with books and materials, and celebrate festivals such as Holi with them.

  • Study sessions with books
  • Study materials for children
  • Festival days, such as Holi in March 2023
  • Time with our elders and volunteers

Yoga & Meditation04

Yoga & Meditation

A little balance. A better everyday.

Gentle movement, breathing and meditation bring calm, strength and connection. Our sessions help residents stay active and peaceful, and every 21 June we mark International Yoga Day together.

  • Gentle yoga for residents
  • Guided meditation and pranayama
  • Stress relief and mental peace
  • International Yoga Day, 21 June

Day Care & Companionship05
Ongoing

Day Care & Companionship

Company, connection and everyday care.

Loneliness affects health as much as illness. Our day care gives elders a warm place to spend the day with friends, activities, tea and caring attention.

  • A warm and safe place during the day
  • Games, conversation and activities
  • Tea, snacks and meals
  • Caring attention from our team

What we do

Also part of our work

Each area is marked to show whether it runs every day, is held from time to time, or is still a plan.

Held periodically

Women & Mahila Diwas

Gatherings that honour women from the community, including our International Women’s Day Samman Samaroh.

Held periodically

Street & Winter Outreach

First aid, warm food and blankets for people living on the street, especially on cold Delhi nights.

Ongoing

Nasha Mukti Awareness

We run awareness programmes on staying free from addiction. Our early centre, a Nasha Mukti Kendra, closed around 2024, so we no longer offer counselling or treatment there.
