Health check-up is conducted by the doctor and provide medicines. Grannies spent good amount of time in watching the movies in television channels.The Inmates are expressing their happiness for having good counselling, care and love besides food and Medical amenities. The 25 inmates are very friendly and they spend their time in reading newspaper, watching TV and sometime in spiritual prayers. Local people come and celebrate their birthdays and marriage days by serving food to the aged. Even in memory of their parents and family members they observe the day with aged mothers in the home. This is a home away from home for grannies that are neglected by their own families.
