A listening ear for elders in distress, the Elders Helpline 1090 is a much-needed service that is giving elders in Bengaluru necessary support against abuse.

A comprehensive programme with dedicated and well-trained faculty, and training in computers, Tally, and skill-based vocation helps thousands of elders reignite the lost spark, and reinvent a second career for themselves, to live a life of dignity and empowerment.

Ageing comes with its own share of health problems and maladies, many of which are caused by an increasingly sedentary and inactive lifestyle. A Bangalore-based initiative is helping the elderly fight these issues through Active Ageing.

Dementia can be a severely debilitating disease for the patient, as well as for close family members who suddenly find their lives focussed exclusively on taking care of the patient. A Bangalore-based initiative hopes to give some respite to families struggling through such situations, in the form of Day Care Centres for dementia patients.
