Gaimukh is where Ghodbunder Road reaches the end of Thane city. The old village sits by the creek, with a jetty and fishing boats, and the forested hills of Sanjay Gandhi National Park rise behind it. Beyond Gaimukh, the road crosses towards Fountain junction and Mira Road. New housing has spread here over the last decade, but the area still feels greener and quieter than central Thane. For families exploring senior living in Gaimukh Gaon, that calm setting is the main draw, along with the fact that it sits between Thane and the Mira-Bhayander side, so relatives from both can visit.

Aaji Care Geriatric Care Centre - Aarambh
Aaji Care Geriatric Care Centre - Aarambh is an assisted living home run by Aaji Care, which has provided geriatric care in Mumbai and Pune for more than ten years and runs several residential centres. "Aarambh" means a new beginning, and the centre is set up for older people who need full-time, hands-on care.
Trained caregivers help with bathing, dressing and personal hygiene, health is monitored every day, and staff respond to emergencies at any hour. The care programme covers memory care support for seniors with dementia, physiotherapy to keep residents moving, recovery care after a hospital stay and palliative care for those with serious illness. Meals follow a nutrition plan, and the team gives emotional and social support so that residents are not isolated.
The home has a garden space, furnished rooms, wheelchair access, Wi-Fi and power backup. Its quieter location suits seniors who find city noise distressing, which is often the case with dementia. Ask the home about the daily activity schedule, how many residents share a room and how the team keeps families updated.
Life at the northern end of Ghodbunder Road
- Nature on the doorstep. The national park's forest edge, the creek and the hills give Gaimukh cleaner air and cooler evenings than much of the city.
- Hospitals. Hospitals in Mira Road, including Bhaktivedanta Hospital, are a short drive across Fountain junction, and Jupiter Hospital and Bethany Hospital in Thane West are reachable along Ghodbunder Road. Ask the home which one it uses and how long the drive takes at peak hours.
- Road and metro links. Ghodbunder Road connects south to Thane and north to the Western Express Highway. Metro Line 4, under construction along this corridor, is planned to bring rail access closer.
- Everyday needs. Newer housing complexes along the road have shops, chemists and clinics, while bigger markets are in Kasarvadavali and Mira Road.
