In June–July 2025 Mahakal Bhairav Care Foundation supported local old age homes with medical check-ups, care kits and volunteer visits — improving seniors’ health, dignity and quality of life.
Brief summary
In June–July 2025, Mahakal Bhairav Care Foundation ran a health-and-care drive for nearby old age homes. We provided medical checkups, hygiene and care kits, nutritious meals, and regular volunteer visits to support seniors’ physical and emotional well-being.
What we did: tangible support for seniors
Our recent initiative focused on practical, respectful support for residents of local old age homes. Actions included:
- Medical checkups & screenings: Partnering with local clinics and volunteer physicians to provide basic health checkups, blood-pressure and sugar screenings, and medication reviews.
- Care & hygiene kits: Supplied essentials such as adult diapers, soaps, sanitizers, toothbrushes, lotions, and warm clothing for the season.
- Nutritious meals & supplements: Organized healthy meal deliveries and provided vitamin supplements where needed.
- Comfort & companionship: Trained volunteers spent time with residents — reading, talking, and organizing small recreational activities to reduce loneliness.
- Follow-up coordination: We shared screening results and treatment suggestions with care staff and arranged referrals for further medical attention when required.
Why this matters
Seniors in institutional care often face health and emotional challenges that go unnoticed. Our intervention removed immediate barriers to basic healthcare and hygiene, helped prevent minor conditions from becoming serious, and addressed loneliness through human connection. Care staff reported improved morale, and residents expressed gratitude for regular check-ins and practical support.
Our approach: respect, dignity, and sustainability
Mahakal Bhairav Care Foundation follows principles that ensure aid is both effective and respectful:
- Respect & consent: All activities were conducted with residents’ consent and in coordination with care-home staff.
- Needs-driven action: We prioritized items and services identified by caregivers and medical volunteers.
- Dignity-first supplies: Products were chosen to preserve dignity and comfort (e.g., soft clothing, well-designed care items).
- Sustainable engagement: Beyond one-time donations, we set up a schedule for periodic health camps and volunteer rotations.
- Local partnerships: Collaborated with local healthcare providers and pharmacies for affordable follow-up care.
Impact: immediate and ongoing benefits
- Early detection of health issues through screenings prevented complications for multiple residents.
- Care-home staff reported easier daily caregiving thanks to hygiene and comfort items.
- Regular volunteer presence decreased residents’ feelings of isolation and improved emotional well-being.
- A documented referral pathway was created for residents needing specialized care.
