Saraswati Vihar is a residential colony beside the old village of Chakkarpur, tucked between MG Road and the DLF phases in central Gurugram. It is a busy, lived-in neighbourhood of independent houses and small shops rather than a gated township, and that ordinariness is part of its appeal. For a parent with memory loss, a quiet house on a residential lane, with familiar sounds of family life around it, can feel far less unsettling than a large building. Families looking at senior living homes in Saraswati Vihar are usually looking for exactly that: specialist dementia care in a homely setting, close to the centre of the city.
Elkin lists verified senior living homes in Saraswati Vihar, Chakkarpur, and the rest of Gurugram. We can arrange a guided visit and help you compare this home with the city's larger dementia centres.
VataVriksh Parent Care
VataVriksh Parent Care is an assisted living home that specialises in seniors facing dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It offers two ways to use it: residential, in-house living for a parent who needs care day and night, and day care for a parent who still lives at home with family but needs supervision and stimulation while everyone is at work. That flexibility is rare in Gurugram and useful for families who are not ready for a full move.
Care on the listing covers help with personal hygiene, daily health monitoring, emergency response, medical care, physiotherapy, nutrition planning, palliative care and recovery after a hospital stay. What sets the home apart is its emotional and therapy side: art and group therapy, psychological support and personalised care plans, delivered by trained caregivers with medical support available round the clock. Rooms are furnished and the home is wheelchair accessible, with a garden for time outdoors.
Before you decide, ask how the home handles wandering and sundowning in the evening, how many caregivers are awake at night, and how it keeps families updated. Compare it with other memory care homes in Gurugram to see the range of settings.
Getting around from Chakkarpur
- Metro within reach. MG Road and Sikanderpur stations on the Yellow Line are close, so relatives from Delhi can visit without driving.
- Hospitals nearby. Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Sector 44, Max and Paras hospitals in Sushant Lok and Medanta in Sector 38 are a short drive, depending on MG Road traffic.
- Everyday services. The village market and MG Road's malls cover medicines, groceries and diagnostic labs.
- Dense streets. Lanes are narrow and parking is tight, so ask the home about ambulance access to the front door.
What dementia care costs in this part of Gurugram
Specialist dementia and Parkinson's care in Gurugram usually costs about ₹70,000 to ₹2 lakh a month for a residential place, depending on whether the room is private and how much one-to-one support is needed. Assisted living without dementia support runs about ₹50,000 to ₹1.2 lakh a month in central sectors like this one. Day care is charged separately and usually costs much less than a residential stay. These figures are approximate, so confirm the current fee with the home. Our article on assisted living for dementia patients explains what good dementia care should include.
