Thudiyalur is a busy junction town on Mettupalayam Road, about 10 km north of Gandhipuram, where the city's northern suburbs meet the road to the Nilgiris. It has its own market, bus stand, banks and schools, and residential colonies such as VKL Nagar and Viswanathapuram spread out on either side of the highway. For many north Coimbatore families, it is simply the nearest town, and that makes it a practical choice for a parent's next home.
Senior living in Thudiyalur covers both ends of the care spectrum. Elkin lists three verified homes here: a large assisted living centre and a retirement community with villas and apartments in the KNG Pudur area.

Nana Nani Homes Phase 6. Ananya Shelters' sixth Nana Nani phase is at KNG Pudur, on the Thudiyalur side of the city, and is listed as villas and Phase 6 apartments. It is an independent living community with a swimming pool, daily check-ins, emergency care, medical check-ups and nursing care, and it is pet friendly. Unlike the older phases in the west, it sits in the north of the city, which suits families living around Saibaba Colony, Kavundampalayam or Thudiyalur itself.
Having both in one area is useful. A couple can choose a Nana Nani home now, knowing that skilled assisted living is a short drive away if one of them needs it.
