Who we are

Growing older in the place you belong.

Founded in 1996, Gramiyam Sangh has spent nearly three decades caring for elders in and around Uthamapalayam. Our home in Lakshminayakkan Patti is deliberately small: 25 residents, known by name, living within the rhythm of village life.

The day begins with movement and prayer, continues with meals cooked in the home, and makes room for conversation, traditional games and the festivals that matter. Supported by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, we try to make old age a season of security rather than anxiety.

  • 25 elders in a close-knit home
  • Three nutritious meals each day
  • Yoga, games and festival celebrations
  • Medical visits and daily care

What we do

Care in the small details.

Our home is run on attention: to health, to appetite, to mood, to the little rituals that make a person feel at home.

04 programmes

Daily nourishment

Freshly prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner, with menus adjusted for health conditions and the needs of older palates.

Health & medical care

Visiting medical professionals monitor blood pressure, sugar and general health, and our care team supports daily medicines and mobility.

Yoga & recreation

Morning movement, pranayama, traditional games and time outdoors help residents stay active and engaged.

Festivals & belonging

Deepavali, Pongal, kolam and prayer days are celebrated together — because joy is part of good care.

Our home

Small home. Deep care.

Our residence provides well-ventilated rooms, individual cots and secure storage, along with the companionship of a shared life. The home is supported by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and by local donors who help with the extras that make life comfortable.
