Lal Bahadur Colony is a quiet residential colony in Trimulgherry, in the middle of the Secunderabad cantonment, along All Saints Road. The road is named after All Saints Church, one of the cantonment's old churches, and the area still feels like the cantonment of old: low buildings, big trees, broad roads with little through traffic, and neighbours who have lived here for decades. For senior living in Lal Bahadur Colony, that calm is the main attraction, along with being only a few minutes from the hospitals of central Secunderabad.
Elkin lists one verified home in the colony. It is the first branch of a small, family-style assisted living organisation with three homes in Trimulgherry and Tirumalagiri. Our advisors can arrange a visit and help you choose between the branches.
Happy Old Age Home, All Saints Road
Happy Old Age Home is at Plot No. 11, All Saints Road, in Lal Bahadur Colony. It is run by the Happy Old Age Home Organisation, an NGO that describes this home as a licensed assisted living family home: a house-sized setting where seniors are cared for as part of a household rather than in a ward.
Despite the old age home name, the care here is substantial. The home offers long-term and short-term assisted care, illness recovery care after a hospital stay, injury rehabilitation and respite care when family caregivers need a break, with packages tailored to each resident. The listing covers help with bathing and personal hygiene, daily health monitoring, emergency response, nutrition planning, physiotherapy, memory care support and palliative care, with trained caregivers and a wheelchair-accessible layout. Rooms are furnished, and the home has a garden area, Wi-Fi and power backup.
A family home like this suits seniors who find large institutions intimidating, parents with early dementia who do better in a small, predictable setting, and families who want to stay closely involved. Because there are three branches nearby, the organisation can usually suggest the one that best matches your parent's needs.
On a visit, ask how many residents live in this branch, how many caregivers are on each shift, and how quickly a doctor can attend at night. Ask also whether a short respite stay is possible first, so your parent can try the home before a longer commitment.
Living in the Trimulgherry cantonment
- Hospitals nearby. Yashoda Hospital and KIMS in Secunderabad, and the government Gandhi Hospital, are within about 15 to 25 minutes, and there are clinics and diagnostic centres around Trimulgherry X Roads.
- Calm streets. Cantonment roads carry less traffic than the city, and morning walks under the old trees are a pleasure in the cooler months.
- Churches, temples and community. All Saints Church gives the road its name, and temples and mosques are close by, reflecting the area's mixed community.
- For defence families. Many residents of this area have army links, and ex-servicemen's health facilities are nearby, so ask the home how it works with them.
Approximate costs around Trimulgherry
Small assisted living family homes in Secunderabad are priced between charitable homes and large professional centres. As a rough guide, assisted living in a home of this kind costs about ₹15,000 to ₹35,000 a month, depending on the room and how much help is needed, and care for residents who are bedridden or have advanced dementia about ₹30,000 to ₹60,000. Short respite or recovery stays may be charged by the week or day. Ask the home for its current packages in writing.
