Center for Caregiver Training & Development (CCTD), the not-for-profit arm of Life Circle Health Services Pvt. Ltd.
Project:
Anandam - Integrated Day Care Centre for Seniors
In partnership with:
Department of Health, Government of Bihar
About the Anandam Project
Anandam
is a
first-of-its-kind Day Care Center in Bihar
, designed to offer
non-residential, center-based eldercare
for seniors with chronic conditions, while simultaneously reducing the burden on family caregivers. The centre will be located in
Patna
and will provide structured
day care services
focused on health, rehabilitation, and emotional well-being.
The initiative aims to fill a
critical gap in Bihar's healthcare ecosystem
by offering daily
medical supervision, rehabilitation, dementia support, and palliative care
--services that are otherwise only accessible in hospitals or institutional settings. By enabling seniors to "live fully and age gracefully," Anandam seeks to
delay or avoid unnecessary hospitalisation and institutionalisation
, allowing elders to remain within their communities.
The project is being implemented by the
Center for Caregiver Training & Development (CCTD)
, the not-for-profit arm of Life Circle Health Services Pvt. Ltd.,
in partnership with the Department of Health, Government of Bihar
. In addition to providing eldercare, Anandam also plays a vital role in
supporting informal family caregivers--especially women--by offering structured daytime respite and professional back-up care
.
