  2. The Indian state of Kerala has a phenomenal elderly population that includes parents of Malayalee NRIs settled across the globe. About a decade back in time, only 5% of Kerala’s total population were elderly, and now the figure has multiplied to more than thrice its then value. • Ageing seniors, whether they live in ordinary residences or a community living with other seniors at old age homes in Kerala, need special care for well-being. No one appreciates this more than the NRIs do, who are always worried about their ageing parents, whom they left behind. ©Copyright by Travancorefoundation.com

  3. Travel restrictions multiplied the worries of the NRIs when the pandemic broke, and they could not physically visit their senior parents in India. Most started seeking round-the-clock geriatric care for their frailing and ailing parents.  • It was only the luxury old age homes in Kerala, which had expert gerontologists as their founders, like the Travancore Foundation (TF), could come of real help to these NRIs. ©Copyright by Travancorefoundation.com

  4. The care on offer and NRIs deserve • When 8.7 lac ex-pats returned to Kerala at the beginning of 2021, many brought along their elderly parents, who needed structured geriatric care that they were used to receiving abroad. The primary areas of concern for their healthcare are mainly: 1. Cognitive decline 2. Osteoporosis and/or osteoarthritis 3. Hearing and vision impairment 4. Balance issues 5. Depression owing to retirement from work 6. Impaired oral hygiene 7. Cardiac /diabetic diseases ©Copyright by Travancorefoundation.com

  5. Those who have come back from abroad along with their NRI children and are lucky to stay together can avail geriatric care even at their doorstep every month from startups like Neogencare. Such consideration includes diagnostic tests, physiotherapy, dietician support, maintaining healthcare records, and even psychological support. ©Copyright by Travancorefoundation.com

  6. Aster DM Healthcare’s Dil Se is an annual healthcare package, similar to Neogencare, which assures NRIs 24 by 7 geriatric care of their parents in India. All their services can be reached by a dedicated helpline number. Buying their senior healthcare package also entitles an NRI discount on in-patient services like hospitalisation, complex investigations and surgeries. During video counselling of their parents, NRIs can take part from abroad. ©Copyright by Travancorefoundation.com

  7. Others, who do not compromise with anything below a five-star rated geriatrics, resort to hiring state-of-the-art, ergonomically designed dwelling units for their parents. Travancore Foundation at Karukachal, Kottayam and Rahel Homes near Kolenchery, Ernakulam, owned by the TF, are such best old age homes in Kerala. ©Copyright by Travancorefoundation.com
