Saw this promotional standee outside an elder care services. And this triggered an idea about setting similar elder care services in Kerala.
Kerala – Big Opportunity for Elder Care Services
With a rising aging population in Kerala, the need for care, and attention is on the rise. Most young Keralites are working outside the state. You can find Malayalee’s in US, UK, Autralia and a big tribe in Middle East. While they are working abroad, their aged parents are still in town. So, who’s taking care of them? Is your relatives and friends taking care of their needs? Not for everyone!
So, here lies another biz opportunity. You can start an elder care service in any part of Kerala. It could be a::
- Old age home or shelter for aging people
- Home medical care and attention
- Companion for aged parents
- Agency to take care of sundry work for aged people
- Provide house maids, drivers, cleaners, plumbers, etc for senior citizesn
- Deliver massage, pedicure, hair cut for elders
- Provide home nurses to aged cpls or individuals
In Kerala, esp in places like Kottayam, Thiruvalla, I’ve seen many big houses either locked or with only parents. Most of these old couples are not willing to live with their kids, or in some cases kids are not in a position to take them. This creates a very difficult situation for siblings and for the parents.
This is where you can provide real, value-added service to these people. These people have money to spend for their parents, but they are loving for someone who can be in their place and take care of them.
Do you have a heart to run a small home business taking care of these elders?
