We work to support elderly individuals who are destitute, abandoned, or in need of care and dignity. Our initiatives focus on providing shelter, basic healthcare, emotional support, and a safe environment where senior citizens can live with respect and comfort.
In Chitrakoot, we provide structured care and support systems for elderly individuals by ensuring their daily needs are met with dignity and respect. Our approach is centered on creating a peaceful and homely environment where they feel safe, valued, and cared for.
We strive to build a space where elderly individuals can live with a sense of belonging and emotional security.
Our work in Lalitpur focuses on reaching elderly individuals who are neglected or lack family support. Through community-based initiatives, we provide essential care services and ensure that no senior citizen is left without support.
We aim to restore dignity and provide a supportive environment where elderly individuals feel respected and included.
Providing a safe and caring shelter to destitute, sick, and abandoned elderly individuals is a critical need in today’s society. DGVS operates three old age homes in Orai, Lalitpur, and Chitrakoot districts of Uttar Pradesh, offering a secure and dignified living environment for senior citizens who have been left without family support.
These homes, lovingly called “Apna Ghar”, currently accommodate 278 residents across all three locations. The minimum age for admission is 55 years, and residents are provided with free accommodation, nutritious food, clothing, and round-the-clock medical care. The presence of an in-house clinic ensures continuous healthcare and personal attention for every individual.
We strongly believe that senior citizens are the pillars of society, and true development is only possible when elders are respected and cared for. One of the most unique aspects of Apna Ghar is its focus on active ageing, encouraging residents to stay physically active and mentally engaged through activities like gardening and agarbatti making, which also support financial independence.
Each old age home has the capacity to accommodate up to 150 residents, making it a safe haven for many who have been abandoned or affected by difficult circumstances. The homes also extend care to mentally and physically challenged elderly individuals, ensuring inclusivity and compassion for all.
With a friendly atmosphere, personalized care, and a strong sense of community, Apna Ghar has become a place where elderly residents can live with dignity, security, and a renewed sense of belonging.
Help us provide care, dignity, and a better life to elderly individuals across Chitrakoot and Lalitpur.
