To inculcate eminence through care support for the destitute
Genuine faith is expressed in sincere love for God and Our neighbors. In Mathew 25:40 says that doing good to "one of the least of these Brothers of mine was something you did for me".A concern for the social issues is born out our desire to love God that translates love for neighbors.
It is a daunting task to aid those in desperate need of proper care especially people who are unable to look after themselves and abandoned and rejected by their family members.Gilgal Aswasa Bhavan, as a group of like minded brethren who desire to pool together their mind and resources to help those who are in thier need of food, shelter, care, concern and fellowship, looked after and cared these people in all aspects of mental, physical, and spiritual rehabilitation. We are focused to release those with differently disabled, affirming the dignity, worth and unique purpose of human being. Presently nearly 350 members are being accomodated here and 60 dedicated staff are serving them.
We are committed to cater the needs of old aged, mentally challenged, and physically handicapped under the active leadership of Pr.Jacob Joseph. We ask your holistic support in sowing the seeds of hope and help towards these ministries.
Geriatric Care Unit
Due to modernization and industrialization, traditional family bonds are weakening, leaving many elderly individuals neglected and abandoned. This results in their suffering and despair. We may all face such a situation in the future.
At Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan we have a dedicated unit for caring for elderly people abandoned by their families, as well as homeless and indigent senior citizens, including those with mental health issues, based on official recommendations and societal consent.
We provide housing for seniors over 60 who are capable of performing daily activities and chores. We offer separate accommodation for both men and women.
Alzheimer's Care Unit
Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan provides specialized care and shelter for elderly individuals suffering from conditions like dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease, who are often left alone without proper care. We provide a safe, supportive environment where they receive the care needed to manage their conditions.
Caring for people with such complex health issues requires a team of compassionate, dedicated, patient, and trained professionals. We provide both physical and emotional support, ensuring that individuals maintain dignity and quality of life. Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan is committed to offering a nurturing, respectful, and loving environment for those in need.
Pain and Palliative Care Unit
Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan is a compassionate facility that provides care and shelter to individuals facing the imminent threat of death, often due to contagious diseases. In these critical situations, the center offers both physical care and emotional support to alleviate their suffering. The goal is to help these individuals recover or extend their lives, giving them comfort, dignity, and hope during a difficult time. We serve as a place of compassion, providing nurturing care in a life-affirming environment.
In recent times, mental illness has become a growing concern, and sadly, many harmful and outdated treatment practices continue to persist in our country. Individuals suffering from mental health conditions often endure unimaginable cruelty, such as being beaten, chained, or confined to small, suffocating spaces. Tragically, some are even abandoned by their families, left to wander and become a burden to society. Perhaps the most heart-wrenching sight is that of mentally ill individuals living on the streets, struggling for survival, with no one offering them a helping hand. Superstitions surrounding mental illness further isolate these individuals, leaving them with nowhere to turn for help. What they need most is compassionate, therapeutic care that will help them heal and restore their sense of normalcy.
At Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan, we are committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care that goes beyond just treatment and medication. We focus on addressing the emotional, psychological, and physical needs of individuals, treating them with the respect and dignity they deserve. Through our dedication, we strive to help them regain strength, peace of mind, and the chance to live a fulfilling life despite their challenges.
Before and after shots
Cerebral Palsy Care Unit
Cerebral palsy typically results from issues that affect a baby's brain development in the womb, leading to challenges like paralysis, epilepsy, and other related conditions. Our specialized care unit supports individuals aged 9 to 55, many of whom face severe difficulties, such as not recognizing their own parents. Sadly, some parents, overwhelmed by grief, may even abandon their children and refuse treatment.
Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan is resolute in providing the utmost care to these individuals, offering round-the-clock devotion to their well-being. We’ve seen significant progress in our residents' recovery, thanks to our dedicated, comprehensive approach.
Intellectual Disability Care Unit
Neurodevelopmental disabilities result from impaired brain development, affecting areas like learning, communication, social interaction, and motor skills. Conditions such as autism, Down syndrome, intellectual disability, and ADHD are examples of neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Many of our residents have intellectual disabilities, often accompanied by additional issues like epilepsy. Sadly, they are often abandoned, shackled, or neglected by their families, leaving them without proper care. Without support, those with conditions like epilepsy face risks of accidents, self-harm, and aggression, sometimes resulting in confinement at home or being left to wander the streets.
Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan has been providing care, therapy, and support to these individuals. Beyond medical treatment, we offer recreational activities, fitness programs, and vocational training to enhance both mental and physical well-being. At Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan, residents are relieved of past struggles, and, with continuous care and supervision, many regain independence and experience significant improvement.
Physically Challenged Care Unit
At Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan, we care for individuals with physical challenges such as spinal cord injuries, aphasia, hearing and visual impairments, and limb deformities caused by accidents. Many of these individuals were once young and capable, working in risky jobs like construction or woodworking, but accidents like falling from trees, etc., left them bedridden.
Due to inadequate treatment and care at home, they suffered from infections, bedsores, poor hygiene, and a lack of medical supplies, ultimately leading to abandonment by their families.
Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan provides dedicated care, offering hospital beds, water beds, air beds, and other assistive devices, along with essential medical support. We also strive to understand and fulfill their individual needs, bringing hope, comfort, and happiness into their lives despite their challenges.
