Unlike normal old age homes, assisted living ensures that the senior citizen has his or her own space. They get their individual apartment spaces and they can customize them the way they want.
In her one BHK space, Vallinayagi, 83, sings her favourite devotional songs and a few Tamil love songs. She then spends her time reading her favourite weekly journals and spiritual books. The entire set-up looks like a regular home of an elderly citizen but here the only difference is that Vallinayagi is part of an assisted living community.
