Best Old Age Homes in and near Mumbai
Shri Shrihas Churi of IECA Foundation’s Shree Old Age Home, in the series of short interviews, explains his views about selection of old age home and also running old age home facility.

Factors to be considered while selecting Old Age Home
One of the important area for elderly and their family members is to decide about which Old Age Home to select. He mentions several factors that shall be considered while making decision in this case.    • For Seniors: Old Age Homes - Faciliti...  

He gives very appropriate example of one person and the approach she used to select old age home for herself. She studied multiple facilities using their websites and resources. Then she did shortlisting of the facilities, she visited them and then stayed at each one of them for one month before finalizing on one.

The idea is that, can elderly person live life at old age home in very similar fashion the way he / she has been living all these years. Other residents, the food, recreation possibilities and medical access; all these points become very important while deciding.

It is also important to find out what would happen to active senior person (at the time admission at Old Age Home) if becomes bedridden. One needs to know whether old age home would be in a position to extend care in such cases. Or else, it would lead to further transition in the life of that senior person.

Selecting and Training Support Staff for Old Age Home
One of the important areas is right selection and training of Caregivers or support staff at the old age homes. He mentions several factors that shall be considered while selecting right person and then training him / her.    • Choosing & Training Support Staff for...  

He prefers young age group for these roles at Old Age Homes due to their energy levels and also it is a choice of lifetime career for them and they turn out to be more serious about their work. He particularly avoids staff that has spent long time with hospitals as he believes that the type of work they undertake is different than what is required at Old Age Homes. He believes the empathy and right attitude or mindset is more important than the skill set of individuals for old age homes.

After selecting for right attitude, he spends lot of time in training them. He also ensures that good working environment is maintained for the support staff. If they remain motivated then, in turn, they provide better care and service to the residents of the facility.
