ABOUT US

 

VridhCare Quality of Life Foundation is a Delhi-based non-profit working across India to uplift underprivileged senior citizens, especially those in old age homes.

Since its founding in 2019, VridhCare has rapidly expanded its reach, partnering with more than 1,000 old age homes in 28 states and 4 Union Territories.

Our core belief is that elderhood should not be a time of neglect but a phase of respect, care, and opportunity.

Our Vision & Mission

  • Vision: To build a society where elderly people are valued, safe, and respected — bridging the generational and socio-economic divides so no elder feels abandoned.

Mission:

  • Understand and identify the real, often overlooked needs of destitute elders.
  • Deliver tailored, cost-effective solutions by building an ecosystem of partners, donors, and caregivers.
  • Create a sustainable model to support old age homes with infrastructure, healthcare, and engagement.

What Drives Us

  • Holistic Engagement: We cater not just to physical needs but also emotional and social well-being. Our model is rooted in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: we begin with basic necessities and scale up to belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
  • Customized Solutions: We don’t apply a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, we perform detailed needs assessments for each home to deliver precisely what they lack — from medical equipment to diapers to cognitive support.

  • Partnership-Driven: We work with corporate partners (such as Omron and Dabur) to provide at-cost or donated health equipment, nutritional kits, and hygiene supplies.
  • Empowerment & Purpose: Through our livelihood support program, we help elders build skills (like handicrafts, sewing, farming) and regain financial independence.

  • Rehabilitation & Emotional Care: 
    Our rehabilitation program focuses on restoring physical, mental, and cognitive health through therapy, yoga, and group activities — helping elders feel seen, supported, and connected.

What We Do

  • Food & Nutrition: We deliver nutritious meals to elderly residents in old age homes across our network.
  • Healthcare: We supply vital medical equipment (BP machines, nebulizers, pulse oximeters) and run health check-up camps.
  • Rehabilitation: We offer therapy, mental-health support, yoga, and social interaction to address loneliness and physical decline.
  • Livelihood Support: We train and support elders to work in meaningful ways — in handicrafts, office work, farming — based on their abilities.
  • Hygiene & Dignity: We provide adult diapers and hygiene kits to address intimate, dignity-related needs.

Why We’re Needed

  • Many old age homes in India lack basic medical infrastructure or cannot afford regular health-care equipment.
  • Elders often feel isolated and undervalued; emotional support is as vital as physical care.
  • Self-worth doesn’t end with age — by providing livelihood and engagement, we ensure elders can continue contributing meaningfully.
  • There is a massive gap between willing donors/caregivers and needy elders; VridhCare acts as a bridge to plug this gap.

Our Impact So Far

  • Supported 1,000+ old age homes across India
  • Touched the lives of over 50,000 elderly people.
  • Partnered with leading corporates to distribute health equipment to underserved homes.
  • Enabled more than 2,000 elders to receive vision restoration and healthcare support.

Our Approach to Sustainability

  • We build long-term partnerships with corporate CSR programs to secure recurring support.
  • We focus on low-cost, high-impact models — bulk procurement of medical and hygiene supplies, working with vendors like Omron.
  • We encourage self-reliance through livelihood initiatives, reducing dependence on donations alone.
