About Us
Redefining Elder Care
On 1st October, 2020, on the occasion of The International Day of Older Persons & during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we started Jyeshtha Care® with the intention of providing the best quality healthcare services to the elderly people, at par with in-hospital care, in the convenience of their own homes.
Over these past 4+ years, we have successfully catered to over 1,000 elderly people and their families all over Thane, Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
With dedicated efforts and great team work, we have fostered an excellent reputation with our elderly community and their families and have become one of the most reliable names in Elderly Care.
Our Story
Dr. Sriniwas Thakur, one of the co-founder, while pursuing his MBBS was actively involved in the care of his grandmother. The family faced many challenges with her medical & non-medical care. The personnel provided by nursing bureaus & agencies at that time lacked the appropriate expertise for which no ownership was taken. This was one of the main reason for him pursuing a specialization in Geriatric (Elder Care) Medicine, from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. He is a Consultant Geriatrician over the past 9 years in many reputed hospitals like Jupiter Hospital Thane, Kaushalya Hospital Thane, Godbole Hospital Thane and many others, along with this private clinic at Spectrum Clinic Thane.
Our other co-founder, Dr. Santosh Thakur is a MD in Internal Medicine and a Critical Care Specialist. He is a gold medalist and university topper in his MD and is one of the most reputed and senior physician in Mumbai. Attached to Jupiter Hospital Thane, Godbole Hospital Thane and has his private clinic at Spectrum Clinic Thane.
​
With our increasing life expectancy, more and more people are living into their 80's and 90's and well beyond. But, this does not necessarily translate into a good quality of life. Thanks to our modern diet and lifestyle pattern, many elderly people require frequent hospitalisations. With the ever increasing cost of healthcare and the lack of adequate health insurance cover in senior citizens, this becomes a challenge and burden on their families.
​
We all know that no matter where life takes us, we always cherish the beautiful memories of our parents and grandparents. At the same time as they age, we also worry about them their safety, their health, whether they are able to manage their daily routines and are they living their lives to the best extent possible? Simultaneously, it becomes difficult for us to compromise on our job, our career and our duties towards our children.

​​
Over the past years, since the inception of Jyeshtha Care®, we realised that many elderly people and their families do not have the appropriate setup at their home to get the right care, inspite of providing trained staff with our teams supervision. Also, the assisted living and old age home situation in our city and country overall is substandard and not organised. With these learnings from the past few years, we have come up with the state-of-the-art Geriatric Care Centre which caters to all the needs of our elderly people, under our care.
Our Kartavya Jyeshtha Care Centre is the first of its kind geriatric care centre where we will be able to provide technologically enabled customised care plan with appropriate 24/7 medical supervision and a homely environment. Our compassionate care plan will ensure that our elderly people will never feel that they are away from their home. YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME is one of the hallmarks of our centre. ​With a flexible visiting hours for the relatives, we want to encourage their involvement in the holistic care plan.
The entire spectrum of social, emotional, physical, psychological needs of the elderly people will be addressed at our centre through a multidisciplinary approach involving a team of geriatrician, physician, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, dieticians and other allied specialists.
