Bharathkshemam had purchased 6.67 Acres of land 25 years ago in Aaryampadam, Mundathikode, and planted coconut trees, Teak, Mahagani, Mango & other fruit trees and now it is a patch of greenery & natural fruits. Bharathkshemam Hospital with a laboratory is functioning in this plot for the last 23 years extending medical services to the poor & needy of this locality at a concessional rate OR absolutely free in deserving cases. Since plenty of water is available in this land and the soil is very fertile, vegetable is also cultivated here. Thrissur Government Medical College & Hospital is in the near proximity of this plot – just 4 – 5 Kms.
Since all the basic necessities are available, we thought of starting a retirement home for the aged people – EDEN VILLAS. This is planned in such-a-way that the husband & wife can stay in an independent villa-type house so that their privacy will not be disturbed at the same time they can lead a trouble-free life in the company of like minded people. The senior citizen whose kith & kin are away busy with earning their livelihood, can have a life as happy as they are living with their family. Medical attention available within the compound, 24-hour assistance of trained personnel, calm & peaceful atmosphere, clean & green environment, healthy food made of organic vegetable & fruits, company of like minded people of peer group etc. will help the residents to lead a happy & peaceful life. The children need not worry about their parents since they are in the safe hands of Bharathakshemam.
There will be qualified/trained personnel to attend the inmates’ needs like medical, food, clothing, cleaning, entertainments etc. Children & relatives can visit the couple during the day time. If required, they can stay 1 or 2 days. The inmates can also visit their friends & relatives, with prior permission.
In short, the company undertakes the complete responsibility of the residents of Eden Villas, their physical, medical & spiritual needs. Bharathakshemam is not expecting any profit from this project; but profit gained if any, will be utilized for CHARITY purpose alone. Thus while enjoying a healthy, happy life, the inmates will also get a satisfaction of participating in the charitable activities of Bharathakshemam.
