Dear Sekkizhar Manolayam Trust and Manolayam - Old Age Home - Retirement Homes - Senior Living Home,

We recently had to travel to Tirupati as a family, and arranging care for my grandmother at short notice was quite challenging. During this time, Dr. Thilaka guided us to Manolayam - Old Age Home - Retirement Homes - Senior Living Home as a temporary arrangement.

We were initially hesitant, but visiting the place gave us confidence. Set in a serene natural environment, the facility is thoughtfully designed for senior citizens with comfortable rooms, clean attached bathrooms, peaceful sit-out areas, a dining space, and a common pooja room. The vegetarian food, coffee, and snacks were excellent.

What truly stood out was the warmth and kindness of the volunteers and staff, along with the inspiring community of residents many of whom come from accomplished professional backgrounds and were incredibly welcoming.

My grandmother stayed there for a few days and returned home with nothing but appreciation for the people, care, and homely atmosphere she experienced.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Thilaka, the entire team at Manolayam - Old Age Home - Retirement Homes - Senior Living Home, Sekkizhar Manolayam Trust, Tmt. Rajalakshmi Kalanidhi, the volunteers, staff, and especially the senior residents for their care, compassion, and support.

Grateful for such a reassuring experience during a difficult situation. 🙏

As a senior Citizen, I felt I should also highlight the services of noble souls,who always want to keep the aged more happy in the company of more seniors. One such place is Manolayam a senior Citizens home. Gone are the days, when the general opinion is that the old are left in the home meant for them by their own family. But things are viewed differently today. As Mrs.Santha Sheela Nair I.A.S. said, the old age homes some 10, 15 years back are a deserted place for the people who were longing for care, affection, patronage from the kith and kin, and citing many reasons, the blood relations somehow find a Caretaker for their once loved one's in an old age home. Today, we have more mixed homes as we have Star hotels for the stay. In fact there are grand homes of stay for the aged providing all comforts, and with safety as well as Security. ( Better call it Health Security. ) The concept started in Hyderabad initially, now it has spread to all other major Cities and Towns. Thankfully, more places in Tamilnadu have retirement Community homes, and we need to include daily in our prayers the well being of the organizers, those who run such Homes for making the aged live Happily, and not becoming sick and bedridden. Like here, the Homes are carefully chosen in a more peaceful location away from the densely populated, and in large compounded areas devoid of pollution. Those, whose Children are settled abroad, are well taken care of more their their Children by these retirement homes, so that the Children live happily in their places, leaving all their worries. In a way, the elders personal problems after retirement are being taken care of with more responsibility, by hundreds of different grades of private homes, and removes all the fears in the minds of the aged.
