Ageing is a difficult and painful process, not only because of growing health issues but also due to lack of companionship and independence. At this age,'proper care' is what senior populace need the most especially if they are suffering from illnesses. Every elder’s healthcare necessity depends on their age, nature and type of illness(s). It also depends on the assistance required in day to day activities. But for many people taking care of their aging parents 24×7 is simply not an option due to their busy career and thus, dependent on unreliable and unqualified concierge to take care of their loved ones.
On closely understanding this situation, Sumi Patel(Founder),a Houston-based healthcare professional with 15+ years of experience in senior care, established PapayaCare Assisted Living Facility. The company was founded in 2016 with an idea to provide 360 degree assistance and care to elders and patients. Apart from rendering residential and post operative care facility to independent and dependent elders, it also nourishes people suffering from Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke and neurological or psychological disorders. “We focus on safety,
security, nutrition and emotional support; along with medical aid that we provide at PapayaCare,”professes Sumi.

Overcoming the Barriers
While India is still struggling to adapt the concept of assistant living, she had an additional challenge of finding trained workforce. Sumi spent hours behind on and off field training in order to equip employees(including caretaker, nurse, cooking and housekeeping staff) with the actual meaning of assisted living facility. But soon, her hardwork payed off when NRIs came forward to enroll their family members at PapayaCare. In no time, PapayaCare acquired more clients and emerged as one of the best elderly care provider in Gujarat through word-of-mouth publicity. “I personally explained family members about the benefits of assisted living services. They could understand that elders are moving to a better place to enjoy 'quality life'. Indirectly, it provides their family members with more space, mobility and worry-free routine,” concludes Sumi.
