Bengaluru,
August 10, 2026: Athulya Senior Care, India's largest assisted
living provider, today inaugurated its third Integrated Geriatric Care Centre
in Mathikere, Bengaluru, further expanding access to comprehensive senior
healthcare services in the city. With over 300 dedicated senior care beds
across Bengaluru, Athulya is now the city's largest provider of integrated
geriatric care. The facility was inaugurated by Hon'ble Shri U.T. Khader,
Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, in the
presence of the founders of Athulya Senior Care, healthcare professionals, and
senior citizens.
In
Karnataka, the need for dedicated elder care has become particularly
significant, with older adults accounting for 9.2% of the state's population,
one of the highest proportions in India, according to the Sample Registration
System (SRS) 2021 published by the Office of the Registrar General and Census
Commissioner under the Ministry of Home Affairs. This demographic shift is
accompanied by a growing burden of age-related health conditions: an
international study has estimated the prevalence of dementia among adults aged
60 years and above in the state at 7.6%, marginally higher than the national
average.
With
India's elderly population expected to nearly double over the coming decades,
the need for specialised geriatric healthcare that goes beyond conventional
hospital-based treatment is only set to grow. Recognising this emerging public
health challenge, the Government of Karnataka has declared dementia a public
health priority through initiatives such as the Karnataka State Dementia Action
Plan and the Brain Health Initiative, aimed at strengthening awareness, enabling
early diagnosis, and improving integrated care for cognitive disorders.
The
launch of Athulya's new centre aligns with these broader efforts by expanding
access to specialised geriatric healthcare, cognitive care and long-term
support services for the elderly.
Hon'ble Shri U.T. Khader, Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, said “As Karnataka prepares for the healthcare needs of an ageing society, strengthening geriatric care infrastructure will play an increasingly important role in ensuring healthy ageing and improving quality of life for senior citizens. Facilities that provide integrated healthcare, rehabilitation and long-term support complement the government's efforts to enhance elder care across the state. I congratulate Athulya Senior Care on this important addition to Bengaluru's healthcare ecosystem and wish them success in their continued service to our senior citizens.”
Mr.
Srinivasan G., Founder & CEO, Athulya Senior Care,
said, “Bengaluru has emerged as one of India's fastest-growing destinations
for specialised senior care, driven by increasing life expectancy, changing
family structures, and greater awareness of assisted living. Karnataka is a key
market in our long-term growth strategy, and the launch of our Mathikere centre
marks another significant milestone in strengthening our presence in the state.
We remain committed to building an integrated senior care ecosystem that
combines clinical excellence, technology-enabled rehabilitation, and
compassionate caregiving to meet the evolving needs of older adults and their
families.”
Dr.
Karthik Narayan R., Founder & Managing Director, Athulya Senior Care,
said, “India's healthcare ecosystem must evolve to meet the needs of an ageing
population. Senior care today extends far beyond medical treatment- it requires
an integrated approach that combines clinical excellence, rehabilitation,
emotional wellbeing and dignified living. Our new Mathikere facility has been
designed with this philosophy at its heart. As Bengaluru continues to grow as a
global city, we believe specialised geriatric care will become an essential
component of its healthcare infrastructure. This centre reflects our commitment
to building world-class senior care ecosystems that enable older adults to age
with dignity, independence and purpose.”
Located
in Mathikere, one of Bengaluru's well-connected residential neighbourhoods, the
purpose-built geriatric care centre has been developed exclusively for senior
citizens and offers a comprehensive continuum of care under one roof. The state-of-the-art facility with around 100
beds, designed exclusively with geriatric support and comfort features spacious
and well-appointed living spaces, dedicated therapy and rehabilitation zones,
technology-enabled physiotherapy services including virtual reality-based
rehabilitation, specialised memory care infrastructure, emergency medical
support, nutritious diet management and recreational spaces that promote active
ageing and holistic wellbeing.
Athulya
Senior Care has established itself as India's leading provider of integrated
senior care services, offering assisted living, transition care,
rehabilitation, memory care, palliative care and home healthcare across
multiple cities. The launch of the Mathikere facility marks another milestone
in the organisation's mission to redefine elder care by combining clinical
expertise, compassionate caregiving and purpose-built infrastructure tailored
