Pettah is an old, central neighbourhood on the road from Palayam to the airport, with its own small railway station and the busy Chacka junction just beyond. It is a lived-in mix of older family homes, small businesses, parish churches and temples, and it sits within a few kilometres of most of what a family needs in the capital: the General Hospital at Vanchiyoor, Thiruvananthapuram Central station at Thampanoor, the Secretariat and the airport.
For senior living in Pettah, that central position is the draw, especially for families who fly in and out. The airport is only minutes away, and a son or daughter landing from the Gulf can be with a parent before the bags are unpacked. The neighbourhood also has quick access to Ananthapuri Hospitals at Chacka. Elkin lists a verified home here that takes residents with dementia.
Season Two Senior Living, Pettah
Season Two Senior Living in Pettah is run by SP Life Care Group, which also operates a home at Peroorkada. It is listed as independent living, but it offers some of the broadest care in the city. Memory care support for dementia sits alongside stroke and neuro rehabilitation, physiotherapy and recovery after a hospital stay. Trained caregivers help with personal hygiene, staff carry out daily health monitoring and medical care, and residents have emergency response and personalised meal plans.
The home is wheelchair accessible, with furnished rooms, a garden, Wi-Fi and power backup. It suits a parent in the early or middle stages of dementia who needs a structured day and gentle supervision, and a stroke survivor who needs steady rehabilitation without a long drive to therapy. When you visit, ask how the home keeps residents with dementia safe from wandering, how evenings are managed and how many staff are on duty at night. The listing appears under the name "Season Two Senior Living Pattom", so confirm the exact address when you call.
Why Pettah works for families
- Hospitals close at hand. Ananthapuri Hospitals at Chacka and the General Hospital at Vanchiyoor are a short drive away, and the Medical College campus and KIMS Health at Anayara are about 15 to 20 minutes away.
- Minutes from the airport. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is just down the road, which is a real advantage for NRI families.
- Rail and road links. Pettah has its own railway station, and Thiruvananthapuram Central at Thampanoor is a few kilometres away.
- Old-city familiarity. The temples, churches and markets of central Thiruvananthapuram, including the Padmanabhaswamy temple area and the Shanghumugham beach, are close enough for an outing with a caregiver.
What dementia and senior care cost in Pettah
Homes in the central city sit in the upper half of the capital's range, and dementia care costs more because it needs more staff. As a rough guide, senior living with care support in Pettah and the central neighbourhoods costs about ₹25,000 to ₹45,000 a month, and dementia care or intensive stroke rehabilitation about ₹35,000 to ₹70,000. Medicines, extra therapy and a personal attendant are often billed separately. Confirm Season Two's current fees and inclusions directly.
