Nagavara gives families a choice that most Bengaluru neighbourhoods do not: two care-led homes within a short drive of each other, both close to the big hospitals of Hebbal. That makes assisted living in Nagavara a good place to start when a parent's needs are medical as much as practical, after a stroke, a fracture, a cancer diagnosis or a sharp decline in memory.
The area wraps around Nagavara Lake and Manyata Tech Park on the Outer Ring Road in north-east Bengaluru. Many families already live or work in Nagavara, Thanisandra, HBR Layout or Hebbal, so visiting can be part of the week rather than a weekend trip.
Novara and KITES compared
The two homes overlap, but they lean in different directions.
KITES Senior Care (Nagavara) is run by Lifebridge Senior Care, the company behind the KITES brand, and works as an out-of-hospital care centre. It is the more clinical of the two. Its listing covers:
- medical care with daily health monitoring and medication management,
- nursing care and palliative care,
- memory care support for dementia and Alzheimer's,
- physiotherapy, plus occupational and speech therapy, which matter after a stroke,
- Ayurvedic treatments for families who want them alongside regular medicine,
- nutritional management, emotional and social support, and an ambulance for emergencies.
It suits residents who need structured rehabilitation or close medical watching, such as a parent relearning to walk or speak, or one with several conditions that change from week to week. The listing places this branch around HBR Layout, next to Nagavara, so confirm the exact address when you book.
Novara Senior Living, at Manyata Residency, describes itself as a home for seniors who need professional support but still want some independence. Its listing covers medication assistance, nursing care, routine health monitoring, dementia and Alzheimer's care, physiotherapy, post-hospital recovery and palliative care, with trained caregivers, wellness programmes and social group outings. It suits a parent who needs daily help and nursing but will also enjoy company and activities. Its own page is under Manyata Residency.
A simple way to choose: if the main goal is recovery with therapy, start with KITES; if it is a settled, sociable life with care on hand, start with Novara. Visit both if you can.
Hospitals and access for care residents
- Hebbal's hospital cluster. Aster CMI Hospital and Manipal Hospital Hebbal sit on the Bellary Road side of Hebbal, with the Baptist Hospital nearby. For residents who may need emergency admission, this short run is Nagavara's biggest advantage.
- Ring road links. The Outer Ring Road connects Nagavara to Hebbal and the airport road one way and to KR Puram the other, and Nagawara is a planned station on the metro's Pink Line.
- Practical errands. Pharmacies, labs and supermarkets line Thanisandra Main Road, so prescription refills and tests are easy.
- Fresh air for steadier residents. Nagavara Lake's walking path is a pleasant outing with a caregiver.
Approximate assisted living costs in Nagavara
Both homes are care-heavy, so they sit in the upper half of the city's range. Rough bands for this part of north-east Bengaluru:
- Assisted living with nursing: around ₹40,000 to ₹75,000 a month.
- Rehabilitation with therapy, dementia care or bedridden nursing in a clinically led home: around ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh a month for a private room.
- Respite stays: usually charged by the day or week.
Therapy sessions beyond the plan, consumables and a personal attendant may be billed separately. These are estimates; ask each home for its current fee, deposit and inclusions. Our guide to levels of care in assisted living explains how homes price different needs.
Old age homes and nearby assisted living
Searches for an old age home in Nagavara mostly lead to these two care homes, since the area has no traditional trust-run home among its listings. For a different setting or budget nearby:
- Assisted living in RK Hegde Nagar, north of Thanisandra, a smaller home for stroke and dementia care.
- Assisted living in Kothanur, on the Hennur-Bagalur Road, with a long-running geriatric care centre.
- Assisted living in Sanjaynagar, west across Hebbal, close to M S Ramaiah.
- Senior living in Nagavara, for the area as a whole, and all assisted living homes in Bengaluru.
