Senior Citizen Home

A large section of India’s elderly population is vulnerable to depression.

Widowed women and seniors living alone are at higher risk.

India’s elderly population is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.

Cases of mistreatment, neglect, and abandonment of senior citizens are rising.

To address this issue, social worker Mr. Pawan Girwalkar established Jeevan Aadhar Senior Citizen Home.

The home was founded on August 16, 2016, in Ambejogai taluka, Beed district, Maharashtra.

It provides a safe, dignified, and supportive living environment for abandoned and mistreated senior citizens.

30–50% of elderly individuals in India show signs associated with depression.

Widowed women living alone face a particularly high emotional and social risk.

Rapid growth in the elderly population increases pressure on families and care systems.

Incidents of elder mistreatment and neglect are becoming more common.

Many seniors are abandoned by family members and lack emotional support.

Elderly individuals often do not have proper guidance or a secure place to live.
