The demand for high-quality senior living facilities is growing with India’s aging population. Families caring for elderly loved ones increasingly seek safe, comfortable, and engaging environments. Olive Elder Care, a Navi Mumbai-based elder care chain, is addressing this need by offering a blend of luxury, healthcare, and community-led living for older adults.
According to the UN Population Fund, India’s population over 60 is expected to double by 2050, making up about 20% of the total population. With its urbanized infrastructure, medical accessibility, and pollution-free environment, Navi Mumbai is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for retirement living.
“Senior care in India is transforming. We are moving towards a model where aging would get defined less in terms of dependencies and more in terms of living life to the fullest,” says Dr. Amar Shinde, Founder of Olive Elder Care.
A Changing Landscape for Senior Care in India
This is fueled by demographic trends, increasing life expectancy, and changing family structures.
Newer senior housing focuses on combining dignified comfort, care, socialization, and physical activity. “The joint family system is coming to an end in India. Many elderly people want to live on their own with limited assistance. They need to be offered a place where they feel secure, active, and valued,” Dr. Shinde said.
Olive Elder Care: A Holistic Approach to Senior Well-Being
It appears simple, but the characteristics that differentiate Olive Elder Care are its holistic and compassionate approach. This is more than just a senior care home—it’s a community where residents can live with dignity and purpose.
Personalized Care of every resident
The community provides assisted living, dementia care, and post-hospitalization rehabilitation and wellness programming.
“My mom needed 24/7 medical care after a stroke. At Olive Elder Care she not only received professional care but through physiotherapy and community activities she got her confidence back,” says Neha Kapoor, a resident’s daughter.
Medical Assistance and Emergency Care
Health care is a focus at Olive Elder Care. The center is equipped with a team of doctors with 24/7 medical support and collaborations with leading hospitals in Mumbai. Regular health appointments, pharmacy management, and therapy sessions allow seniors to be able to receive continuous and specialized care.
“For older adults, timely medical care can be life-saving. We make sure that no health issue goes unnoticed,” says Dr. Apoorva Selvaraj, a doctor at Olive Elder Care.
A Lifestyle That Encourages Active Aging
The Olive Elder Care stresses physical and social activity among its residents. The center provides:
- Mental and physical wellness through daily yoga and meditation.
- Training for arts and music. Alongside, storytelling sessions are organized to develop creativity and emotional graphics.
- Outings, community meals, and socials to combat loneliness.
“I thought that it was impossible to make friends at 80, but now this life is just full of laughter and companionship,” said Mr. Prakash Sharma, a resident at Olive Elder Care.
A Day in the Life of a Resident
Life in Olive Elder Care is structured yet flexible. This is done to make sure that the seniors feel engaged, comfortable, and stress-free. “Remaining occupied is the secret of aging gracefully, and that is exactly what we offer,” adds Dr. Shinde.
- Morning: Gentle yoga followed by a healthy breakfast.

Shaping the Future of Senior Living in India
The requirement for eldercare solutions will increase even more with the rising number of seniors in the population. A report by CBRE India highlights that the senior living market in India is poised for significant growth.
“We are not just providing care; we are changing how India looks at aging. Our goal is to make senior years the best years of life,” said Dr. Shinde.
