1. The Journey of Avana Senior Care
When I embarked on the journey of creating Avana Senior Care, it was more than just a business venture—it was a mission deeply rooted in personal experiences and a strong desire to redefine senior living in India. Growing up, I watched my father, Sameer Nagrani, dedicate his life to building infrastructure that shapes cities. His passion for construction and my inclination toward healthcare eventually converged into something meaningful—Avana Senior Care.
Having studied Health Administration at Mount Sinai Hospital and Senior Living Management at Cornell University, I was exposed to some of the best elder care models in the world. I realized that while India has a rich tradition of caring for its elders, there was a growing need for structured, high-quality, and compassionate senior living communities. Avana was born out of this vision—to create a place where seniors don’t just reside but thrive, maintain their independence, and experience holistic well-being.
2. Redefining Senior Living in India
In India, senior living is often associated with dependency, frailty, and, in some cases, loneliness. At Avana, we aim to change that narrative. Our focus is on active aging, where seniors engage in activities that bring them joy, purpose, and a sense of belonging. Whether it’s art, music, gardening, or wellness programs, our community is designed to cater to the emotional, physical, and social needs of every resident.
Our approach is centered on providing dignified and respectful care. We don’t believe in creating an environment where elders feel like they are being ‘taken care of.’ Instead, we strive to make them feel at home, surrounded by people who respect and value them. Our team is trained to provide assistance when needed, but also to encourage independence, because we believe that aging should be empowering, not limiting.
3. A New Chapter of Wellness and Harmony
Our tagline, 'A New Chapter of Wellness and Harmony,' perfectly encapsulates what Avana stands for. This is not just a facility; it’s a home where seniors can rediscover themselves, form new friendships, and live life with dignity.
Every aspect of Avana—from our thoughtfully designed living spaces to our wellness programs and healthcare facilities—has been curated to offer comfort, safety, and engagement. We integrate modern technology with warm human touch, ensuring that residents feel connected and secure while maintaining their autonomy.
The decision to move into a senior living community is often met with hesitation, both from seniors and their families. But I truly believe that Avana will transform the way people perceive aging in India. This is not an end—it’s a fresh start, a chance to experience life with joy, purpose, and companionship.
As we open our doors to our first residents, I invite you to be a part of this journey with us. Whether you are looking for a home for your loved ones or simply want to understand what senior living can be, Avana is here to redefine aging with grace and vibrancy.
