The Senior Citizens' Home at Lakshirbond district Hailakandi is rendering services since 1999. The Home is housed in its permanent building. Senior citizens whose lives are affected by lack of care and protection are admitted into the Home. The beneficiaries are provided with shelter, food and nutrition, medical care, mental respite through recreation and need based counselling. Some of the beneficiaries are also restored to their families after checking out the care and protection elements available in the family. To encourage active and productive ageing, vocational trainings are provided to the beneficiaries. Elderly-friendly production activities are carried out in the Home through which the senior citizens are helped to make small earnings. This component has been found meaningful in giving the senior citizens a sense of being productive and the required confidence to lead a dignified life.
