Empowering Women and Youth for Elder Care

Need for Skilled Manpower in Elder Care

As per GOI census data and other research, it is expected that by 2026, 27 million seniors will require specialized medical care in Indian metro cities. Trend shows that nuclear modern families living in metro cities have increased multi fold in India. Hence, it is difficult for family members to manage elders with their daily biological, physical and mental requirements.

Aaji Care Sevak Foundation (ACSF) felt this situation can be good opportunity to create two fold impact. We can use this need to create dignified and well-paid jobs for less privileged women and youth and at the same time improve quality of care delivered to elders in India suffering from chronic diseases like Alzheimer, Dementia, Cancer, Diabetes etc.

We have trained over 2000 young individuals, all successfully employed across the various Old Age Homes, Hospitals and at individual’s homes through Aaji Care. Our goal is To help provide employment to 1 lakh people over the next five years.

About ACSF

Founded in 2021 Covid Lockdown Aaji Care Sevak Foundation (ACSF) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing improved Care to older adults through a vibrant community of caregivers (Nursing Assistant) who are rigorously trained with a focus on elevating health, independence and quality of life of the elderly.

At ACSF, we believe in building a compassionate and caring society, where every individual is well supported and taken care of, and where age and other disparities do not come in the way of access to healthcare and good life.

Rapid urbanisation and increasing costs of living is gradually compelling households, especially in the metro cities, to switch to smaller nuclear family setups. This is making it extremely challenging for families to provide healthcare to older family members, who are struggling with biological, physical or mental ailments. On the other side of the social ladder are the less-educated and other marginalised groups of people, who are in desperate need of education, vocational training and employment.

At ACSF, we have taken it upon us to educate and train these less-educated women and youth, and provide them employment through dignified and well-paid jobs to provide improved healthcare and medical services to seniors suffering from chronic diseases such as Alzheimer, Dementia, Cancer, Diabetes etc.

It’s a win-win situation for both – on one hand it helps families, who are looking for premium elderly care services for their ageing family members, on the other hand it creates fresh employment opportunities for the less-privileged and under-educated section of our society. At ACSF, it is our aim to create 1 lakh dignified jobs through specialized Geriatric Care training programs over the next 10 years.
