What is Assisted Living?
Frequently called "old age homes" in India, assisted living homes provide housing and care for seniors who require help with day-to-day living but not yet in need of 24X7 medical attention.
Many believe that it is a moral obligation to look after our elders, and here at Epoch, we share your views. We believe that it is our duty to care for our elders responsibly, to treat them with dignity, and to provide them with the highest level of care possible. Epoch Elder Care provides high quality assisted living homes for seniors. Epoch Assisted Living Homes provide holistic, Person Centered Care that enables elders to have the highest quality of life. At Epoch, the team believes in focusing on the person as much as the clinical condition. Founded in 2012, Epoch has more than 9 years of relevant experience in India, and follows evidence-based global best practices.
When you choose Epoch Assisted Living Facilities, you are actively choosing to provide your elderly loved ones with the best possible standards of care you can afford. Before you choose for your elderly loved one to move in with us, our team spends time with you and your elderly to understand your requirements and truly advises if Epoch is the right fit for you.
