Our elders our responsibility

 
Bhartiya Samaj endeavors to consider setting up a rest home specially designed to nurture South Asian communities.
 We intend to fulfil the cultural needs of our respected Elders which seems to be missing in the existing Rest Homes.
Doctors, Nurses and Caregivers will be available who shall be able to understand your language and deal with your respective cultural values. Home cooked food will be provided and served in the rest home.  An assurance will be given that there shall be no lack of companionship and communication as the most common language shall be used so that understanding each other does not create an issue. They will be entertained with the installation of the popular Indian TV (Vision Asia) , movies etc.
Arrangements to visit the Temples, Gurudwaras, Mosques or Churches will be made to get there on regular weekly basis. They would not miss out on popular festivals as arrangement will be made for them to participate. In a nut shell this will be another home away from home. Please remember, this project is not for today or tomorrow but it will cater to our future.
Vision:
NEW ZEALAND Residents of South East Asian community will have an access to old age homes which are developed with absolute sensitivity to our culture and are designed to provide emotionally nurturing, culturally sensitive, linguistically encouraging and medically safe environment.
Mission:
Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust will consult, collaborate, initiate and support the process of brainstorming on the future of old age nurturing, for our community in New Zealand.
Theme:
Our community by enlarge demonstrates great sensitivity towards their old people and always has attempted to provide their best for them within available means. We as immigrant experience huge dynamic transformations in our means, life style, professional and occupational challenges which constantly limits our capability to perform as a care giver. However we continue to strive hard not to leave any stone unturned to provide the best for our elders.
Context:
It is funny how everyone wants to live long but no one wants to grow old. Old age is viewed as an unavoidable, undesirable, problem-ridden phase of life that we all are compelled to live, marking time until our final exit from life itself.
Perceiving old age with fear is actually a rather recent phenomenon. It seems to increase as each day passes and the world become more complex and less comprehensible. Old age care has become even bigger challenge with our youngsters living in complex times.
