More About Our Life Care Project

Accommodation is of a dormitory facility, separate for boys and girls. It is the overall responsibility of the House Master, Matron & Care givers to ensure smooth running of the residential facility. With the help of our Social worker and Admin staff, they plan, organise and monitor all the required activities in the residential facility like personal hygiene, medical care, etc. in close consultation with the parent / guardian.

As on June 2025, there are 29 beneficiaries. Parents of a few present day-care beneficiaries have booked for life care, when they are unable to manage their wards at home.

Cases are also coming from other people, through references from other NGOs /parents /well-wishers.

Medical Care Forms an Important Part of Life Care

Dr. L.H.Hiranandani Hospital in Powai, supports all the medical needs of these beneficiaries; We have also tied up with Apple Hospital, Airoli close to our centre GODS ABODE for emergency medical requirement of our beneficiaries. We have collaborated with D.Y. Patil Deemed to be University, School of Physiotherapy. They support us by sending their interns to conduct daily physiotherapy sessions for our trainees. We have also collaborated with D.Y. Patil Deemed to be University, School of Dentistry, for dental treatment.

House-keepers monitor the prescriptions and give time to time medication to all life care beneficiaries; procuring the medicines and visiting doctors as per requirement with office Admin staff, etc.

Details of each beneficiary are maintained in a register for any kind of information required by the management, doctors or parents.

Planning the diet for the beneficiaries is also an important aspect, which is done in consultation with a professional dietician, who prescribes, taking into consideration the physical / medical conditions of these members.

Care Givers are one of the strongest support systems and vital clog in the wheel for running Life Care. These caregivers are specially trained to take care of their specific / total care. They provide assistance in regular hygiene requirements, medical needs, etc.. Matron, along with the support of the Social worker, counsellor and special educator, interacts with parents or guardians and help with emotional needs, fully understanding the mood / requirement of the beneficiaries.

The life care staff hold regular meetings with the Teachers and Management for effective functioning

In addition, since they are in the centre 24 hours of the day, the Team also helps in the general day-to-day running of the Foundation. The young beneficiaries with no physical disabilities are trained in house-keeping, so that they can help in keeping their clothes tidy, living place clean, help others who are dependant, etc., thus they too remain occupied after the day care activities ( 4pm to 8 pm..) and live like a family in a house.
