RK Hegde Nagar is a fast-growing neighbourhood in north Bengaluru, off Thanisandra Main Road between Thanisandra, Jakkur and Kothanur. Twenty years ago it was mostly open land; today it is a grid of layouts, gated apartments and new shops, with a handful of quieter residential enclaves such as Regency Park. It is a popular place for young families, and that brings a practical benefit for senior living in RK Hegde Nagar: many children already live within a few kilometres.
Elkin lists one senior living home in RK Hegde Nagar, the Regency Park branch of Elders Heaven, a care home for seniors with medical needs.
Elders Heaven (Regency Park)
Elders Heaven (Regency Park) was established in 2011 and sits in the Regency Park area of RK Hegde Nagar. It was set up specifically to care for elders with dementia, Alzheimer's, paralysis and those who need stroke management, so it is a home for seniors who need real help rather than a retirement club.
The home runs on 24-hour professional nursing, balanced with personal attention. Each resident has a care plan, and support covers personal hygiene, daily health checks, medicine, physiotherapy, recovery after hospital and palliative care. Rooms come furnished with wardrobes, an individual television with cable, sanitised linen and, where needed, medical-grade nursing beds. Floors are anti-skid, there is a lift and an emergency calling system, and air conditioning is available as an option. The in-house kitchen cooks fresh, pure vegetarian food, and there is a prayer and meditation hall, a yoga and activity area and a garden.
Elders Heaven has a second home in K Narayanapura. If you are weighing them up, ask about bed availability in each and visit both. Seniors who are independent may prefer independent living in Bengaluru.
Local advantages of RK Hegde Nagar
- Hospitals. Aster CMI Hospital and Manipal Hospital Hebbal are the nearest large hospitals, via Thanisandra Main Road and the Outer Ring Road. Smaller clinics and diagnostic centres line Thanisandra Main Road.
- Airport side of the city. RK Hegde Nagar is a short hop to the Bellary Road and the airport, which helps NRI children who fly in for short visits.
- Newer, cleaner layouts. Many streets are recently laid, with parks and less congestion than old north Bangalore, though construction is still going on in places.
- Daily shopping. Supermarkets, pharmacies and eateries have grown up along Thanisandra Main Road and around Hegde Nagar.
Who suits this home best? Typically a parent who has had a stroke or a fall, or whose memory loss has made living alone unsafe, and whose children live in Thanisandra, Hebbal or Yelahanka. It is less suited to a fit, social senior who wants a pool and clubhouse; for that, the retirement townships north of the airport are a better match.
Costs for care in RK Hegde Nagar
North Bengaluru care homes such as this one usually price assisted living at about ₹35,000 to ₹65,000 a month. Seniors who are bedridden, recovering from a stroke or living with advanced dementia need more nursing time, which typically costs about ₹55,000 to ₹1 lakh a month. Optional air conditioning, a personal attendant and medical consumables may be billed separately. These figures are approximate, so ask the home for its current fee and deposit in writing.
