Bengaluru,
March 30, 2026 : With India’s senior population projected to
cross 180 million and set to double over the next two decades, the need
for specialised, geriatrician-led eldercare is becoming increasingly critical.
Addressing this gap, Geri Care, India’s leading integrated geriatric healthcare
provider, today announced the inauguration of its newest Skilled Nursing
Facility & Clinic for Senior Citizens in Sarjapur, Bengaluru. This
marks Geri Care’s 12th facility in India and its second centre in Bengaluru,
following its Ulsoor facility.
Conveying
his wishes on the launch of the centre, Sri. Dinesh Gundu Rao, Hon’ble
Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, said, “As
our cities grow and demographics shift, the need for structured, specialised
eldercare is becoming increasingly important. Institutions like Geri Care play
a vital role in strengthening the healthcare ecosystem for our senior citizens.
Facilities such as these will be critical in ensuring that elders receive
continuous, dignified care closer to their homes and communities.”
“Eldercare
is not just a medical need, but a societal responsibility. Institutions like
Geri Care ensure our seniors receive the specialised, compassionate care they
truly deserve, in the hands of expert geriatricians. Bengaluru needs more such
initiatives,” said Sri. Harsh Gupta, IAS, Principal
Secretary, Health & Family Welfare Department, Government of Karnataka, while
inaugurating the facility in the presence of senior medical professionals and
community members.
Dr.
Lakshmipathy Ramesh, Founder & Managing Director, Geri Care,
added, “Bengaluru has rapidly emerged as a city with a large and growing
senior population, both long-time residents and elders of migrant families.
With Sarjapur, we are deepening our commitment to the city by bringing a
geriatrician-led, continuum-of-care model closer to where families live today.
Our goal is to address the missing middle in eldercare, between hospital and
home—through integrated, clinically anchored care that supports seniors across
every stage of ageing.”
Located
at Haralur Main Road, Sarjapur, the 120+ bed centre brings Geri Care’s geriatrician-led,
multidisciplinary model to one of Bengaluru’s fastest-growing residential
corridors. The facility integrates a Skilled Nursing Facility with a Senior
Citizens Clinic that serves as the central access point, offering consultations
with geriatricians and visiting specialists, routine check-ups, adult
vaccinations, and chronic disease management.
The
centre offers specialised physiotherapy and rehabilitation for seniors,
along with Assisted Living, Memory Clinic, Post-Surgery and
Post-Hospitalisation Care, Respite Care, and Palliative Care and a Senior
Citizens Day Clinic. A key highlight is Geri Care’s pioneering Dialysis
Daycare and Stay-care model, the first in India, designed for seniors
requiring ongoing dialysis in a clinically supervised, elder-centric
environment.
At
its core is Geri Care’s Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) model, bridging
the gap between hospital and home by providing continuous medical supervision,
structured recovery, and long-term care through a clinically managed,
geriatrician-led approach.
The
Sarjapur centre is also envisioned as a community hub for senior citizens,
hosting awareness programs, preventive health initiatives, and engagement
activities for elders and their families.
With
a growing presence across Chennai, Bengaluru, and Coimbatore, Geri Care
continues to build a 360-degree, geriatrician-led ecosystem spanning
hospitals, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, and home care—
anchored in dignity, continuity, and quality of care.
