Care Centre for Bed Ridden Patients at Sinhagad Road

Aging is universal & inescapable biological process. Old age ,the infallible & inevitable ordeal for all living beings has been bothering mankind for long. Its psychosocial impact is multiplying with every passing year. No one knows when old age begins. The biological age of a person is not identical with his chronological age. Certain diseases and chronic diseases are most frequent among older people. Psychological problems, impaired memory, rigidity of outlook and dislike of change are some of the mental changes found in the aged. Even emotional disturbances or disorders result from social maladjustment. The aging population is both medical and sociological problem. Here now SPANDAN PRATISTHAN’S “SPANDAN CARE CENTRE “ comes to the rescue of all the silver citizens as well as those who are bed-ridden or medically unfit and those who required medical assistance.  It began its services to humanity from January 2003. It is registered under                charitable trust with Regd no E- 4192(Pune). SPANDAN CARE CENTER has now grown up to 21 years.

Story behind initializing the trust

This  trust  was  started  by  two  friends  DR. PRASAD SONIS & ADV.  RAJAN DESHPANDE. Both were busy  in their  professions. While  seeing  the  patients  and  clients  in  their  routine  practice  ,they  came  in  contact  with  many  people  who  were  facing  problems  due  to  illness  of  their  near  and  dear  ones.  These  people  were  willing  to  take  care  of  them  by  attending  with  them  in  the  hospitals  or  at  house.  But  due  to  nuclear  families,  due  to  their  jobs,  travelling  for  office  work,  it  was  not  possible  for  everyone  to take  care of  their  relatives.  Even  expensive   cost  of  the  medical  facilities  was  also  the  main  problem  faced  by  most  of  them.  This  small problem  faced  by  the  people  in  the   vicinity  was  like  an  iceberg  in  the  ocean.

Previously   there   was   a joint   family.  If  anyone was  ill  or  bed-ridden   due  to  any  illness  there  were  many   people  in  the  house  who  could  take  care  of  them.  But  nowadays  due  to  nuclear  families  and  small  settlements  or  flat  systems  there  is  a  lack  of  space  and  also  there  are  high  chances  of  infections.

Now  due  to  increase  in  the  cost  of  living  both  have  to  earn  for  the  family. The  housewife  who  was  available  all the  time  has  to  juggle  between  office  and  her  household  work.  So  there  was  a  dire  need of  such  centers  who  could  take  care  of  our  old ,  bedridden  near  and  dear  ones.

We  see  nowadays  there  are  many  people  who  are  suffering   from  cardiac  problems,  uncontrolled  diabetes,  paralysis ,  fractures,  arthritis,  osteoporosis,  parkinsonism, Cancer etc..  To  add to  this  there  are  psychological  as  well  as  neurological  problems  like  Alzheimer’s, Dementia,  Depression  and  Psychosis  also.  One  has  to  tackle  all such  disorders.

Keeping  this in  mind  and  discussing  these  problems  with  our  friends  and  well wishers  we  decided  to  start  our  charitable  trust ‘SPANDAN  PRATISTHAN’  to  cater  to  the  needs  of  all such  people  who  are  looking  for  help.
