Vegetarian lunch, prayer and company during the day at Bhakti Shyama for Hindu elders still living at home.
An elder who lives with their family can still be alone for much of the day while others are at work, and may have few people nearby to talk to in Gujarati or Hindi. Day care at Bhakti Shyama Care Centre gives them company in their own language, in a Balham home next to the temple.
A visit can include Aarti, bhajans with residents, a pure-vegetarian lunch from the home's Gujarati kitchen, and time in the garden when the weather allows. Staff are there to help with personal care when needed, and registered nurses are on the premises in case of a health worry.
It suits families from Balham, Tooting, Clapham South and Streatham Hill who want support but are not ready to think about a move. It also means the home is already familiar if a respite stay is needed in future or if residential care becomes the right choice. Phone us to talk about which days would suit.
