Dr. V. S. Natarajan Geriatric Foundation is the only institution which is dedicated to establishing a comprehensive and sustainable socio-medical ecosystem for the overall wellness of the elderly population in this region. With a strong leadership and vibrant community engagement, we aim to create a self-sustaining hyperlocal framework that enhances the quality of life for the elderly across geographies. Our focus is on creating hyperlocal communities that actively engages with the senior citizens within their neighbourhood to ensure holistic support for their health, dignity, and well-being.
The Dr. V S Natarajan Geriatric Foundation is the heart and soul of over 40 years of dedicated work by Padma Shri Awardee Dr. V S Natarajan, lovingly known as the Father of Geriatrics in India. His passion for elder care has transformed countless lives, and through this foundation, we continue his legacy of compassion and innovation.
At the Foundation, we believe that old age should be a time of comfort, respect, and joy.
Yet, we know that many seniors face not only health challenges but also deep societal and familial struggles. Our mission is to bridge these gaps, ensuring that every elderly person, regardless of their socio-economic background, can lead a fulfilling and dignified life.
In a world that often overlooks the elderly, we dig deep into the issues they face, searching for sustainable solutions that are not just practical but also rooted in empathy. We know that these challenges don’t exist in isolation, which is why we actively involve communities, families, and stakeholders in creating solutions that last.
Through extensive research in Geriatrics and Gerontology, we’re not just responding to the needs of today’s elderly but also setting the standards for the future of elder care. Our foundation is here to mentor, partner, and support all those who share our vision of a world where seniors thrive.
Encourage, Support, Achieve— is our guiding philosophy.
We Encourage individuals and organisations to take an active role in serving the elderly. We Support them by providing guidance, mentoring, and partnerships to create sustainable solutions for the challenges of ageing. And together we achieve the vision of Happy Elderhood.
