Paud Road is one of the old arteries of west Pune. It begins at Paud Phata near Karve Road, runs past Kothrud's colonies, Vanaz and the Chandani Chowk junction, and then carries on through Bhugaon and Pirangut towards Paud and Mulshi. The city stretch is lined with schools, small shops, banks and the bungalows and societies that went up when Kothrud first expanded, and many of the people who live along it have done so for decades.
That long-settled character shapes senior living on Paud Road. Instead of large new campuses, you find care homes in converted bungalows close to the families who use them. Elkin lists one verified home on the road itself, and the wider Kothrud, Bavdhan and Bhugaon area adds several more. Our team can take you on a guided visit and help you weigh them up.
Kalpavruksha on Paud Road
Kalpavruksha (Paud Road) is the Kothrud home of Kalpavruksha Care, a Pune group whose parent company is Healthcare Concepts. It occupies a bungalow in a residential society opposite the More Vidyalaya bus stop. The house sits on the main road, but the operator says the rooms are set back enough that traffic noise does not carry inside, and there is a garden for residents.
What the home offers, from its listing:
- Medical cover in the building. In-house doctors, geriatric-trained nurses and careful medication management.
- Care for frail and bedridden elders. Help with personal hygiene, prevention and treatment of bedsores and wounds, and physiotherapy.
- Recovery after surgery. Short or long stays after an operation, with physiotherapy and nursing until a person can go home.
- Palliative and hospice care. Kalpavruksha calls itself a hospice as well as a home, and accepts critically ill younger adults as well as seniors.
- Practical extras. Its own ambulance for emergencies, furnished rooms, Wi-Fi and power backup, plus day care and short stays when the family needs cover.
It suits families who want medical care close to Kothrud, where they may already live, rather than in a distant facility. For more homes of this kind across the city, see assisted living homes in Pune.
Why Paud Road works for families
- Metro at the doorstep. The Aqua line of Pune Metro starts at Vanaz on Paud Road and runs through Anand Nagar and Ideal Colony towards the city and Ramwadi, so relatives can visit without driving.
- Major hospitals close by. Sahyadri Hospital in Kothrud and Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Erandwane are within a short drive, and Chellaram Hospital in Bavdhan is just past Chandani Chowk.
- Neighbourhood life. Temples, small bookshops, vegetable vendors and old-fashioned eateries line the road, which helps a parent who wants familiar surroundings.
- Easy for family in west Pune. Kothrud, Karve Nagar, Warje and Bavdhan are all a few minutes away.
