KITES Senior Care, a Geriatric care services provider founded by Rajagopal G, Dr A S Arvind, and Dr Reema Nadig, announced its entry into Chennai with the launch of a new “state of the art” facility in the heart of the city, T.Nagar. The new facility with about 15,000Sq ft of built-up space is equipped with 45 beds of luxurious air-conditioned rooms (both single & twin sharing), High Dependency Unit (HDU) beds, a large & modern therapy hall apart from consultation suites, a prayer room & activity hall. The centre will provide specialised geriatric care services including post-surgery and post-hospitalisation rehab care, and palliative care.
The geriatric care services market in India is about USD 20 Billion and is growing at a CAGR of 7%. About 11% of India’s population is above the age of 60. Report by UNFPA states that 16% of India’s population will be above 60 in a decade from now, making elderly care an essential service that the country needs to take care of its ageing population. Chennai, with a large & growing senior population, holds immense potential in this emerging field with far and few specialised care providers.
KITES Senior Care was established in 2016 by senior doctors and healthcare professionals. Over the years, it has established itself as a front-runner in the emerging field of geriatric care and is trusted by over 5,300 families. The new facility will be their fifth facility in India; after Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The brand has ambitious plans to expand its footprints in South India beyond these three cities.
