A home where elders are family
Shree Satya Sai Kalyan Kshetra Vrudhashram is an old age home at Kasgaon, Badlapur (East). Here is who we are, what we believe, and how we think about caring for elders.
Every home has a beginning
A place of care, dignity and belonging for senior citizens.
What is certain today is where the home stands: at Kasgaon Wadi, on the Badlapur–Karjat Highway, Badlapur (East), Maharashtra — and what it exists to do: to look after senior citizens with care and respect.

What we work for
Our mission
To give senior citizens a home where they are cared for with compassion, treated with dignity and surrounded by companionship.
Our vision
A society in which no elder feels forgotten, and every elder is welcomed as a member of the family.
Seven words we try to live by
They guide how elders are spoken to, how decisions are made and how visitors are received.
Care
Attention to the whole person — body, mind and spirit.
Dignity
Privacy, choice and self-respect, every single day.
Compassion
Understanding what an elder feels before they have to say it.
Respect
For age, experience, faith and life history.
Humanity
Seeing a person first — never a case, a bed number or a duty.
Family
The standard we hold: care as we would want for our own parents.
Seva
Selfless service, offered without expectation of return.
Home first, institution never
A home is measured not by its walls, but by how its people are treated.
Home before institution
Routines exist to serve elders, not the other way round. Where possible, elders keep their habits, their tastes and their choices.
Dignity in ordinary moments
Dignity is not a grand gesture. It is knocking before entering, asking before helping and never speaking about an elder as if they were not there.
Community as the family beyond the walls
Neighbours, families and volunteers are part of the home. Visits, festivals and shared meals keep elders connected to the world outside.
What every elder can expect
These are the standards this website and the home hold themselves to.
- To be spoken to with respect, and listened to before decisions are made about them.
- To have their privacy protected — including their photographs, health and personal details.
- To be treated as an individual, with their own faith, food habits and life history.
- To be welcomed with warmth when family and friends come to visit.
- To have accurate information about the home shared publicly — nothing exaggerated, nothing invented.
