Using over ten years of experience in U.S. healthcare like HCA Hospitals and Memorial Herman health system, Sumi Patel founded PapayaCare due to her worries about her aging in-law’s care. She saw that India lacked adequate care facilities for elders and decided to create PapayaCare modeled off of the U.S.’s assisted living and memory care homes.

Sumi Patel wanted to create a new home with a vision, “To create a home-like setting that provides peace of mind and comfort to those that desire warmth and emotional support.”

PapayaCare tailors its service to each resident; a “one size fits all” approach does not adequately address each individual’s needs since each person is unique.

At PapayaCare, a highly trained team ensure that every resident is engaged in activities to enjoy socializing with others or enjoy their time quietly and peacefully based on their preferences.

PapayaCare offers peace of mind with 24/7 support and services like memory care, palliative care, transitional care, assisted living, and rehabilitation.

Since PapayaCare started at the Ahmedabad location, PapayaCare has served over 300 families in the last five years.

Primus upholds the total comfort and safety of seniors with homes that are designed specifically to ensure ‘Zero Falls’. Homes at Primus come with ergonomically designed furniture with no sharp edges, grab handles for quick support, anti-skid tiles, shower seats, adjustable lights and much more.

As seniors age, their health requires special care and attention. Primus offers healthcare services on-premises, and has tie-ups with specialists to meet every geriatric health requirement. They also have 24X7 ambulance services and nurses to provide quality care to seniors.

Household chores keep the woman of the house busy always; she never gets to retire. Primus Homes ensures women can finally retire and enjoy their time following their passions.

While the pandemic hit worldwide, and cities shut down temporarily, it was life as usual at Primus. While several seniors who lived by themselves suffered without maids, drivers and other support staff, Primus residents enjoyed round the clock services and were kept engaged and emotionally connected to their children through technology. The management employed strict safety measures, and staff stayed on campus to ensure the wellbeing of seniors. The efficient management of Covid-19 at Primus further reiterates that retirement homes are the safest abodes for seniors in their golden years.

On 11th December 2011, the day Association of Senior Living India, was formed the first point on the future road map charter read:

“ASLI will aim to be a voluntary accreditation body to senior living providers by helping draft and implement guidelines and standards that are relevant to the industry, to help create / establish and operate consistent high quality senior living communities, using Best Global practices”

On 11th December 2020, ASLI signed up with Standards Wise International through their Indian subsidiary Standards Wise International India , to roll out the first ever Standards and Accreditation Matrix for the private sector in the space of Senior Living and Care Communities.

The accreditation certificate, which will be issued after validation and assessing of various criteria and quality standards, will carry the endorsement of ASLI, SWII and The Commonwealth Association for Ageing.

The combination of SWI, CA and ASLI brings together an extraordinarily strong group with significant expertise in this sector, that will introduce and promote a Senior Living Standards and Accreditation Matrix for India.

The Standards adapts and enhances existing standards and accreditation templates taken from SWI, and populates them with criteria, indicators, and evidence relevant and unique to the Indian context, introducing a preliminary code of operations for self-regulation, along with best practices collected from India and developed markets across the world.

The Standards have a four-level hierarchy comprising a quality standard and its intent, followed by multiple criteria to achieve the stated intent. This criterion is then further broken up into smaller indicators or objectives, which are then measured and assessed for evidence, and a rating score issued after final validation and assessment.

There are 8 Quality Standards, Governance, Management and Personnel, Design and Construction, Facilities Management, Resident engagement and Experience, Technology and Information Management and Hygiene, Safety, Infection Prevention / Pandemic Control (HSIPC).

These Standards have criteria which are both mandatory and optional, thus allowing Communities and entities across all socio-economic strata to engage, even at the entry and basic levels, while having an aspirational line of sight on how to improve over time, given available resources, which would then reflect in the rating score being upgraded.
