Survey Park is a residential block on the eastern side of Santoshpur, a few minutes from the EM Bypass at Mukundapur. It is largely made up of family houses and small apartment buildings, and it has a quiet, middle-class feel, with narrow lanes, local shops and far less traffic than the Bypass itself. Families looking for senior living in Survey Park usually want one thing above all, which is skilled care for a parent who can no longer manage at home, without moving them far from the south Kolkata they know.
Elkin lists one senior living home in Survey Park, and it is a specialist one. Our advisors can walk you through it, arrange a visit and suggest alternatives nearby if the fit is not right.
Inside Shibasram, Survey Park
Shibasram is an assisted living and geriatric care home at Plot 1250 in the P G Survey Park area, run by the Shibasram Trust and operating since 2013. It is built for residents who need hands-on help every day rather than occasional support.
A typical day includes help with eating, dressing, bathing and grooming, daily health monitoring by nursing staff and a careful medicine round, since the home lists strict medication management as a core service. Specialist doctors visit, physiotherapy is on site, and residents recovering from surgery or a hospital stay can come in for post-hospitalisation care. The home also offers swallow and speech therapy, which few care homes in the city provide and which matters a great deal after a stroke.
Shibasram is especially known for dementia and Alzheimer's care, and the same trust has a separate memory care listing covered on our Santoshpur page. Rooms are air-conditioned and elder-friendly, with grab bars and emergency pull cords, and both private and shared rooms are available. Meals follow a home-style Bengali menu, adjusted for soft, diabetic and low-salt diets.
Why Survey Park suits older residents
Hospital access is the strongest point. Survey Park sits close to the Mukundapur hospital cluster on the EM Bypass, where Medica Superspecialty Hospital, AMRI Mukundapur and Rabindranath Tagore Hospital stand within a short drive, with Peerless Hospital at Panchasayar a little further south. When a resident needs a scan or a specialist opinion, the trip is short.
Getting here is easy. The Orange Line metro stops at Jyotirindra Nandi in Mukundapur, close to Survey Park, so a son or daughter living in Garia, Kasba or near Science City can visit by metro.
It feels like home for south Kolkata families. Many residents come from Jadavpur, Dhakuria, Garia or Behala, and Survey Park's mix of houses, local shops and neighbourhood pujas feels familiar rather than institutional.
Approximate costs in Survey Park
Specialist nursing and therapy put Survey Park towards the upper end of Kolkata fees. Assisted living in this part of south-east Kolkata usually costs about ₹35,000 to ₹65,000 a month, and care for advanced dementia or a bedridden parent about ₹50,000 to ₹90,000 a month. Expect to pay separately for medicines, diapers, special equipment and any hospital admission. These ranges are approximate, so confirm the current fee and inclusions with the home. Our guide on questions to ask an assisted living facility is a useful checklist for the visit.
Old age homes and alternatives around Survey Park
A search for an old age home in Survey Park or nearby usually turns up small, low-cost homes with basic care. Shibasram is different: it is a nursing-led home, so it suits families whose parent needs medical support more than company. If you want to compare, these nearby areas are close by:
- Senior living in Santoshpur, which covers both Shibasram listings, including the dementia unit.
- Senior living in Madurdaha, north along the Bypass near Anandapur, for an assisted living home with palliative care.
- Senior living in Sreerampur, beyond Garia, for a campus where a more active parent can buy a flat.
- Assisted living homes in Kolkata, to see every option across the city.
