SHEOWS Old Age Home aims to address the issue of elder abuse and works towards it by providing a home to the gray-haired souls who have been abandoned and have lost the hope to live. Our mission is “To serve the destitute/abandoned/abused old aged by attending to their needs, wounds and agony at the dusk of their life. We also aim and that no elderly should die on the roadside.”

SHEOWS since the last 16 years have been rescuing these elders from the streets of Delhi. They are given primary medical treatment and are provided with free accommodation, clean clothes, nutritious meals, 24x7 caregivers, doctors and nurses, medical facilities including Special Care Unit, Pathology Lab and Physiotherapy Unit.

1.6 million annual stroke cases

1 in 3 has hypertension

1 in 5 has diabetes
