Arekere is a residential suburb on Bannerghatta Road in south Bengaluru, between Hulimavu and BTM Layout, just south of IIM Bangalore. Its MICO Layout and the surrounding streets are home to a mix of long-time residents and young families in newer apartment blocks, and Arekere Lake and Hulimavu Lake give the area some green relief. It is a practical, well-served part of the city without the crush of the inner neighbourhoods.
For senior living in Arekere, the big plus is hospitals: Apollo and Fortis on Bannerghatta Road are within easy reach. Elkin lists one home here, a small assisted living home that also takes short respite stays.
Nethu Priyaa Home, Arekere
Nethu Priyaa Home has been run by Nethu Priyaa Home Private Limited since 2013. It is a professionally managed home for seniors who need some help or who simply should not live alone, and it offers both assisted and independent living in a homely setting.
Day-to-day care includes:
- help with personal hygiene, toileting and moving around,
- daily health monitoring, medication management and regular health checks,
- physiotherapy and recovery support after a hospital stay,
- nutritious, home-prepared meals with diet support, and
- emotional and social support, with outings and social activities.
Trained caregivers and staff are on duty round the clock, under medical supervision. The home also offers respite and short stays, which help when a family carer needs a break, is travelling, or wants a parent looked after during a recovery period.
Rooms are furnished, with Wi-Fi, a TV and a wardrobe, and come air-conditioned or non-AC, with attached or shared bathrooms. There is power backup, CCTV, secure entry, walking zones, laundry and daily housekeeping, and a guest area for visitors. A point families appreciate: the home keeps up regular communication with relatives, which helps when children live in another city or abroad.
