Tandalja is a fast-growing neighbourhood in south-west Vadodara, west of Akota and a short drive north of Kalali. Once a village on the city's edge, it has filled in quickly with housing societies, bungalows and apartment towers, while keeping a quieter, more spread-out feel than the older centre. Old Padra Road and Akota are a short drive east, which puts the rest of west Vadodara within easy reach.
For senior living, Tandalja Road appeals to families who want a residential setting with a bit more space and greenery than central Vadodara, without moving a parent far from the hospitals of Race Course. Elkin lists a verified senior living home on Tandalja Road and can arrange a guided visit, or a side-by-side look at homes in Punit Nagar and Kalali.
Kadji Villa 1 on Tandalja Road
Kadji Care - Kadji Villa 1 is the residential assisted living and rehabilitation wing of Kadji Care, founded by Dr. Nikunj Chavda. Unlike the group's apartment-style centres, this one is a villa, and its listed rooms are the largest of the Kadji homes in Vadodara. That extra space helps residents who use a wheelchair or walker, and families who want to bring a few familiar things from home.
The villa is medically supervised and built around complex geriatric needs: dementia, Parkinson's support and stroke rehabilitation, as well as patients sent home from hospital who are not yet ready to cope alone. The aim is a home-like atmosphere in which residents keep as much independence and dignity as their condition allows, while specialised therapy carries on in the background.
Care on the listing covers personal hygiene, daily health monitoring, emergency response, palliative care, physiotherapy and post-hospitalisation recovery, with trained caregivers and full wheelchair access. The kitchen serves a specialised vegetarian diet, and rooms are furnished with Wi-Fi and power backup, opening onto a garden.
Choose Villa 1 when your parent would be happier in a quieter house-style setting than a busier centre. If your parent needs oxygen, suction or tracheostomy support, compare it with the Kadji centres in Kalali and Punit Nagar.
Daily life and access around Tandalja
- Hospitals within reach. Sterling Hospital on Race Course Road and the Baroda Heart Institute on Old Padra Road are a short drive north-east. Shree Ram Krishna Paramhans Hospital, run by the Shroff Foundation Trust, is in neighbouring Kalali.
- Connected without the traffic. Relatives coming from Akota, Alkapuri or Race Course reach Tandalja quickly via Old Padra Road, yet the inner streets stay calm.
- Everyday needs nearby. Tandalja's housing societies have schools, places of worship, pharmacies and local markets close by, so small errands do not need a long trip.
- Room to move. Bungalow plots and wider lanes mean more open sky and garden space than in Vadodara's older pols and central areas.
Senior care costs on Tandalja Road
Tandalja is a little more affordable than Race Course or Old Padra Road, though villa-style rooms can sit higher than a standard room. As an approximate guide, assisted living in Tandalja and the surrounding south-west suburbs costs about ₹22,000 to ₹45,000 a month, and dementia, Parkinson's or stroke care with nursing round the clock about ₹30,000 to ₹60,000 a month. Ask what the fee includes, especially physiotherapy, diapers and doctor visits. Confirm the current price with the home, and read our guide on what services are included in assisted living before you compare quotes.
