Manyata Residency is a residential pocket on the edge of Nagavara, right beside Manyata Tech Park in north-east Bengaluru. It is a practical address rather than a scenic one: the tech park is next door, the Outer Ring Road runs past, and Hebbal's hospitals are a short drive away. For working families who want a parent close by, that practicality is the point. Senior living in Manyata Residency means a parent can be visited at lunch or on the way home, not just on Sundays.
Elkin lists one senior living home here, Novara Senior Living, a care-focused home for seniors who need help every day. This page looks closely at Novara and at the nearby alternatives, so you can decide whether this corner of the city fits your parent.
Inside Novara Senior Living
Novara Senior Living is an assisted living home that describes itself as a place for seniors who need professional support but still want some independence. Its care covers four areas:
- Assisted living, with help in bathing, dressing, medicines and moving around, and routine health monitoring.
- Memory care for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's.
- Transition care for seniors coming home from hospital after surgery, a fall or a stroke, with physiotherapy and nursing.
- Palliative care for residents with serious illness who need comfort and dignity.
Residents live in private rooms with grab bars and mobility support. The building has a lift, wheelchair-accessible spaces, a garden and quiet recreation areas, and a secure campus with 24-hour security. Meals are prepared by a chef, and housekeeping, laundry and Wi-Fi are included. Staff run wellness programmes and group outings, which helps residents who arrive after a long hospital stay settle and regain confidence.
Novara is not an apartment community. If your parent is active and independent, look at independent living in Bengaluru, where most options are retirement townships around Devanahalli and Kanakapura Road.
Living beside Manyata Tech Park
- Medical help is close. Aster CMI Hospital and Manipal Hospital Hebbal are on the Hebbal side of the ring road, and the Baptist Hospital is also in Hebbal. Ask Novara which hospital its emergency tie-up is with.
- Quick to reach from work. Thousands of people work inside Manyata, and Thanisandra, HBR Layout and Hennur, where many of them live, are all nearby. A care home that is easy to visit tends to get more visits.
- Airport access. NRI children flying in can reach the area from Kempegowda International Airport via Hebbal without crossing the city centre.
- Errands made easy. Supermarkets, pharmacies and labs sit along Thanisandra Main Road and the ring road service roads, so medicines and tests are easy to arrange.
The trade-off is noise and traffic around the tech park at peak hours. Visit in the evening to judge it for yourself.
Costs for care near Manyata Residency
Care homes around Manyata and Nagavara sit in the middle to upper band for Bengaluru. Assisted living here usually costs about ₹40,000 to ₹75,000 a month. Memory care, palliative care and transition care cost more because they need more nurses per resident, roughly ₹60,000 to ₹1.2 lakh a month depending on the room and the level of care. Physiotherapy sessions, a one-to-one attendant and medical consumables are often billed on top. Treat these as approximate figures and confirm the current fee and deposit with Novara.
