The home is equipped to cater to the needs of elderly women, offering a range of amenities and services to enhance their quality of life. A dedicated medical team, coupled with trained social workers specialising in elderly care, has been deployed around the clock at the home. The ground floor of the home is dedicated to a dialysis centre, clinic, and pharmacy. A well-equipped kitchen to prepare clean and healthy food is also facilitated at the home.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. MP Ahammed, Chairman of Malabar Group, said, “Malabar Charitable Trust has been working continuously to support individuals and communities that are marginalised and lack access to basic amenities to lead a life with dignity. We are committed to giving back to the society in which we live. Building Grandma Home is part of that vision to bring transformative changes to the lives of people from the underprivileged section of our society. We are grateful to the authorities in Bengaluru for extending all possible support to build Grandma Home. We are confident that the home will offer comfort and joy to all the women in need.“
The initiative is part of Malabar Group’s mission to offer safe havens to individuals so that they can regain stability, rebuild their lives, and find hope again. It reflects the group’s commitment to empowering women and uplifting marginalised sections of society.
