Gulab Devi Hospital Road runs close to Burlton Park, the green sports ground in the heart of Jalandhar that is home to the city's cricket stadium. It is a central, well-known part of the city, a short drive from the bus stand, the railway station and the main markets. Jalandhar is the capital of Punjab's Doaba region, and Doaba has sent more of its children abroad than almost anywhere in India, to Canada, the UK, the US and Australia. That is why senior living homes on Gulab Devi Hospital Road, and across Jalandhar, are growing: many parents now live in large houses with their children an ocean away.
Elkin lists verified senior living homes on Gulab Devi Hospital Road near Burlton Park. Our team can arrange a guided visit, or a video walkthrough for families abroad.
Bawa Sarup Singh Senior Citizen Home
Bawa Sarup Singh Senior Citizen Home was established in 2015 as a home away from home for senior citizens in Jalandhar. It was set up with a specific group in mind: elders who live alone, or whose children live abroad, and who want safety, care and company without leaving their city.
The home offers modern amenities and a supportive environment focused on dignified assisted living, reliable medical care and a community where seniors can share their days. The listing covers help with daily personal hygiene, regular health check-ups, emergency response, medical care, nutrition management, and emotional and social support, with trained caregivers. Residents can enjoy shared meals, festivals and conversation in Punjabi with people of their own generation, which many find the hardest thing to replace when family is abroad.
It suits a parent who is lonely or struggling to manage a household, takes regular medicines and needs some daily help, and wants to stay in Jalandhar near relatives and their gurdwara or temple. For a parent who is bedridden or has advanced dementia, ask how much nursing the home can provide. See also assisted living homes in Jalandhar.
Why central Jalandhar works
- Central and easy to reach. Burlton Park is close to the city centre, the bus stand and the railway station, so visiting relatives from other towns arrive easily.
- Hospitals in the city. Jalandhar has a large civil hospital and many private hospitals and nursing homes within a short drive; ask the home which one it uses.
- Familiar surroundings. Markets, gurdwaras, temples and the park are all nearby, keeping residents connected to city life.
- Airport access for NRIs. Families flying in can use Amritsar or Adampur airports, or travel from Delhi by road or rail.
Approximate costs in Jalandhar
Senior living in Jalandhar costs much less than in Delhi NCR, though demand from NRI families keeps good homes busy. As a rough guide, paid senior homes in Jalandhar cost about ₹12,000 to ₹30,000 a month, assisted living with more personal care about ₹20,000 to ₹45,000 a month, and bedridden or nursing care more. Charitable and government homes cost little or nothing for those who qualify. These figures are approximate; confirm current charges with the home.
