Kaggalipura is a village on Kanakapura Road, on the south-western edge of Bengaluru, a few kilometres beyond the NICE Road junction. The road here runs through farmland, eucalyptus and rocky hills, and the Art of Living International Centre at Udayapura is just down the road. Over the past decade, villa layouts, farmhouses and gated apartments have come up along this stretch for people who want a greener, quieter life without going too far from the city.
Senior living in Kaggalipura reflects that trend. Elkin lists one community here, a new senior apartment project by the Cadabam's group, designed for seniors who want comfort, calm and support close at hand.
Cadabam's WeNest
Cadabam's WeNest is a senior living apartment community developed by Cadabam's Senior Dwellings LLP, part of the Cadabam's group, which has worked in mental health care in Bengaluru for decades. Launched in 2025, WeNest describes itself as safe, serene and age-inclusive: apartments are designed for older residents, but the community is meant to feel like a lively neighbourhood rather than a care institution.
What WeNest offers:
- Homes. 2 BHK apartments of around 850 sq ft, furnished, with elder-friendly layouts, Wi-Fi and power backup.
- Care on site. Caretaker services, nursing care and personalised help with daily activities when needed.
- Health. Visits by doctors, physiotherapists and psychologists, and lab sample collection on campus, so routine tests do not mean a trip into the city.
- Lifestyle. A swimming pool, gardens and green surroundings, with a community life built around activities and shared spaces.
The visiting psychologist is unusual among senior communities and reflects the group's background. It can make a real difference for seniors dealing with loneliness, grief or low mood after moving.
As a newer project, ask WeNest about the phase you would move into, the number of residents already living there and which services are running today. For other communities, see independent living in Bengaluru.
WeNest suits a couple or a single senior in reasonable health who likes nature and quiet, and who is comfortable relying on the community's own nurses for everyday health needs while keeping hospital trips for the occasional appointment.
