Spandan Care Centre

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 PRATISHTHAN'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 PRATISHTHAN’ to cater to the needs of all such people who are looking for help.
