Bannerghatta Road is one of south Bengaluru's main arteries. It starts near Dairy Circle, runs past BTM Layout, IIM Bangalore, Arekere, Hulimavu and Gottigere, and ends at Bannerghatta National Park on the city's southern edge. Along its length are dense residential layouts, apartment towers, malls and, importantly for older residents, some of the city's best-known hospitals. For families searching for an old age home in Bangalore south, Bannerghatta Road is usually the first place they look.
Senior living on Bannerghatta Road ranges from small family-run care homes near its northern end to larger campuses further south. Elkin lists one home under this page, in BTM Layout, with more listed under Arekere, Gottigere and Nisarga Township.
Anandashram Senior Citizens Home, BTM Layout
Anandashram Senior Citizens Home is a care home in BTM Layout, at the city end of Bannerghatta Road. It aims to give elderly residents a secure, supportive place to live, and it is especially geared to seniors who need help through the day.
What the home offers:

Why Bannerghatta Road suits older residents
- A hospital corridor. The Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences sits near the BTM Layout end, Apollo Hospitals and Fortis Hospital are both on Bannerghatta Road, and NIMHANS is a short drive away on Hosur Road. For a senior with heart, neurological or general medical needs, few parts of Bengaluru are better served.
- Metro access. The Yellow Line metro's Jayadeva Hospital and BTM Layout stations are close to the northern end of the road.
- Everything nearby. Shops, pharmacies, temples, parks and restaurants are within easy reach, and Jayanagar and JP Nagar, two of the city's established neighbourhoods, are next door.
- Easy for families in south Bengaluru. Children living in BTM Layout, JP Nagar, Jayanagar, HSR Layout or Electronic City can usually reach the area quickly.
The one drawback is traffic, which is heavy along the whole road at peak hours.
Senior care costs on Bannerghatta Road
Bannerghatta Road sits in the middle of Bengaluru's price range, with family-run homes near BTM Layout often costing less than clinical chains. As a rough guide, a paid old age home or care home here costs about ₹20,000 to ₹40,000 a month for a shared room with meals and care, and assisted living in a private room about ₹35,000 to ₹70,000 a month.
