The location of the Home is in a very quite area, still close to the main road. The road is a dead end so not much traffic.

There are 5 beds in the ground floor, 3 beds in the First floor and 2 beds in the second floor. One room in the second floor is converted into an office. All residents are given a steel cupboard for personal use. We have a Washing Machine to regularly wash the residents’ personal clothes and also the bed linens and the curtains.

The Cook and the three Housekeeping boys live here with the residents. Our Nurse comes on a 12hr. duty. One lady assistant comes on 8hr. duty 9am to 5pm and the other lady assistant comes from 8pm to 5am. The Nurse and the lady assistant help the residents with their daily chores like helping them brush their teeth, helping in giving them bath, keeping them well groomed.

At 11.30am all of us gather in the First floor open air balcony which can seat all our members and the staff comfortably. We put on the cassette and listen to Bhajans while the residents are doing their exercise and sit in a circle to play with the plastic ball. Each one throws the ball to the other member who catches it. This helps in mind and hand co-ordination. The residents are given some exercises adviced by the Occupational therapist. Till 1pm these activities go on.

From 2.30pm to 4pm all residents take a nap which is very much essential. At 4pm Tea is served.

4.30pm again everybody gathers in the First floor open area for a round of other games like Carrom Board, Spell-o-Fun, Snakes and ladders or Lido. While they are playing, the radio is switched on, to hear some latest Hindi music. After 6.30pm all of them watch TV for a couple of hours as every room has a TV Cable connection. Dinner is served at 8.15pm.

On Wednesday evening at 4.30pm the doctor comes for checkups. Our residents are members of Topsline Emergency services. When an emergency occurs, Topsline takes care of taking the member to the nearest hospital. Their Vehicle is equipped with para medical staff and equipments. For regular Blood check ups, we have a person coming to collect blood and we have taken help of The Community Health Centre at Bhakti Vedanta Hospital for consultation and investigations.
