Our Services

Our services are crafted to inspire our elders to engage with life purposefully which would lead to a positivity that is crucial to mental wellbeing. We thus arrange our services, outlined below, depending on the preferences of each individual:

1. Hold intellectually stimulating discussions – Understand the senior’s interest and facilitate discussions accordingly. e.g. with an ex-first-division football player, discuss footballers of the 60’s & 70’s when Bengal football was in its heydays.

2. Give them a sense of achievement – Rekindle their desires, make them believe that their wishes / dreams can still be achieved. e.g. facilitate restarting long lost hobbies like painting, singing; Get them activity oriented - motivate them to play games - make them feel positive when they win a game or solve a puzzle.

3. Arrange for new social connections for them – organize small size social gatherings where they feel at ease with others.

4. Design positivity boosters – encourage them to write articles/stories from their memories of the days gone by; collect those writings to publish an annual magazine. Create thematic calendars where the pages are filled with pictures of the activities of our elders, their photos.

5. Understand & improve their positivity level – Use our proprietary review framework (designed with consultations with academicians) to assess and plan improvements.

6. Eradicate their worries – by addressing their daily chores.

7. 24 × 7 Medical Emergency Coverage – provided through a partnership with an organization specialized in the field of medical management.

Success In Our Services

In the last 10+ years, Care Unlimited has delivered its services with many success stories to its credit. With a small team, it is providing services to more than 50+ clients, all of whom today call the organisation a life changer. ‘Engagement in Life’ is the philosophy and each client is a valued family member who is supported physically and emotionally. Every senior member is provided personalised service with flexibility and empathy. A bi weekly visit, that lasts about a couple of hours, includes personalised services including physical assistance to accompany them on chores (to the bank, doctor or shopping) or outdoor activities. The main idea is to reduce the stress associated with these activities. The other objective is to become a friend, guidance counsellor who they can rely on for support. The service offering covers help in financial operations, health management and a solutions-based engagement in life. Many success outcomes have emanated from our services, but the journey has not been easy.

In one such case, an old lady was nearly always in a negative state of mind when we first met her. She was not interested in anything and passed her time in a passive mode without any hope of seeing better days. After trying hard to get some information about her past life we learnt that she used to be interested in singing but had to part ways with music because of an unsupportive environment at her in-law’s place. Our care advisors tried hard to reignite her interest in music by listening to her favourite songs together, by singing in her presence until a time came when she started to participate step by step. After a while she turned around and started practicing songs by herself and even sang solo in front of an audience in one of our cultural events.

In another case an old lady, once passionate in reading, had lost interest in books altogether. She had stopped reading anything at one point in time. Our care advisor started having intellectual discussions with her regarding some well-known writers of her liking. Chapters from books were read aloud to her and discussed. She regained her interest in books and is currently reading books with the same zeal as she did in her younger days.

Another important lever has been that of increasing social networking in the lives of our seniors. With regular events scheduled by Care Unlimited, like picnics, excursions, celebrations of festivals, the clients are constantly interacting with each other and this becomes their new social connection and something they look forward to.
