Akshar City is a large housing township on Dabhoi Road, on the south-east side of Vadodara, near the Dada Bhagwan temple. It is made up of hundreds of row houses and tenements laid out along a wide main road, and it reflects how this side of the city has grown: newer, more affordable and more open than the crowded centre, with schools, shops and clinics following the housing.
Most of Vadodara's senior care homes are in the west of the city, so a good home on the Dabhoi Road side matters to families who live in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs and want to visit a parent often without crossing the city. Elkin lists a verified senior living home in Akshar City and can arrange a guided visit, or help you compare it with homes in Fatehgunj and Kalali.
Ekta's Carehome Foundation
Ekta's Carehome Foundation is an ISO 9001:2015 certified care home in Akshar City, run by Ekta Care. It sets out to feel like a joint family rather than an institution, with residents sharing meals, conversation and daily routines in a warm, lived-in setting.
The home offers assisted living, dementia care, palliative care and recovery after an operation, and it also looks after bedridden seniors and those in rehabilitation. Trained nursing staff are on duty round the clock, and each resident's care is shaped around their own health needs and the routine they are used to, from when they wake to how they like their tea. Daily help includes bathing, personal hygiene and grooming, with daily health monitoring, physiotherapy, nutritional management, emotional support and emergency response.
Two things stand out for families. The home sends daily updates on each resident, which is reassuring for children working long hours or living abroad. And visiting hours are not restricted, so relatives can drop in when it suits them. Rooms are furnished and air-conditioned, with housekeeping, laundry, an emergency calling system, security, Wi-Fi, power backup, a garden and wheelchair access.
Living on the Dabhoi Road side of Vadodara
- Space and calm. Akshar City's wide internal roads and row-house layout make it quieter than central Vadodara, and easier for a wheelchair or walker on an evening stroll.
- Easy for east-side families. Relatives living in Manjalpur, Makarpura, Waghodia Road or along the ring road can usually reach the home quickly, without crossing the busy centre.
- Everyday shops and services. Dabhoi Road has grown its own grocery stores, chemists, clinics and banks to serve the new housing.
- Hospitals. Ask the home which hospital it uses for emergencies and how long the drive takes. SSG Hospital, Vadodara's main government hospital, is in the centre of the city, and several private hospitals serve the south-east.
Approximate senior care costs in Akshar City
The Dabhoi Road side is one of the more affordable parts of Vadodara for senior care.
