Chennai, January 30, 2026 : Geri Care,
India’s leading integrated geriatric healthcare provider, today announced the
inauguration of its new Clinic and Skilled Nursing Facility for Senior Citizens
in Adyar, marking its 11th facility in India and another milestone in its
mission to deliver specialised, compassionate eldercare closer to communities.
The facility was inaugurated by renowned Tamil orator, writer and
television personality Smt. Bharathy Bhaskar, in the presence of Guests
of Honour Padma Shri Dr. VS Natarajan, widely regarded as the Father of
Geriatric Medicine in India, and Prof. Dr. AV Srinivasan, Distinguished
Neurologist and Founder of AVS Brain Charitable Trust.
Located at Indira Nagar, 4th Main Road, Adyar, the centre offers a
comprehensive range of services including a 50+ state of the art bedded Skilled
Nursing Facility- Senior Citizens Clinic, Assisted Living support, Memory
Clinic, Post-Surgery Care, Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation,
Post-Hospitalisation Care, Respite Care, and Palliative Care — enabling seniors
and families to access coordinated care across recovery, rehabilitation, and
long-term support.
Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. Lakshmipathy Ramesh, Founder
& Managing Director, Geri Care, said: “Adyar holds a very special
place in Geri Care’s journey — it is where our medical practice began and where
the idea of building a dedicated geriatric ecosystem first took root. With this
new Clinic and Skilled Nursing Facility, we are bringing together medical
expertise, nursing care, rehabilitation and emotional support under one roof.
Our goal is simple: to help elders age with dignity, comfort, and continuity of
care, while giving families confidence and peace of mind.”
Renowned Tamil Orator, Writer and TV personality, Smt. Bharathy
Bhaskar, Chief Guest at the inauguration, said, “It
is deeply meaningful for me to inaugurate Geri Care’s Skilled Nursing Facility
and Clinic at Adyar. Having trusted Dr. Lakshmipathy Ramesh with my father’s
care, I have seen firsthand his empathy and clinical excellence. As our
population ages, specialised geriatric care is no longer optional — it is
essential. Geri Care beautifully balances advanced medical capability with deep
human compassion, reminding us that ageing deserves dignity, comfort, and
respect.”
Padma Shri Dr. VS Natarajan, Guest of Honour,
added: “Over the years, I have seen geriatric care evolve from a niche
discipline into a critical pillar of healthcare. What Geri Care has built is a
true continuum — combining skilled nursing, clinics, rehabilitation and
assisted living in a way that responds to the real, everyday needs of older
adults. Centres like this Adyar facility demonstrate how specialised geriatrics
can be delivered at scale, without losing the human touch.”
Also addressing the gathering, Prof. Dr. AV Srinivasan, Distinguished
Neurologist and Founder, AVS Brain Charitable Trust, said: “Neurological
and cognitive conditions are among the most complex challenges in older adults.
What stands out at Geri Care is their holistic approach — from memory care and
rehabilitation to skilled nursing and family support. This Adyar centre
strengthens Chennai’s geriatric care ecosystem and will make a meaningful
difference to countless seniors.”
Geri Care also announced that operations at its existing integrated
geriatric clinic on Adyar 1st Main Road will be fully transitioned to this new
Adyar centre with immediate effect, consolidating clinical services, skilled
nursing, and rehabilitation under one roof for improved continuity of care.
As part of the inauguration day celebrations, Geri Care launched
Endrum Margazhi, a year-long cultural initiative dedicated to elders, with an
inaugural Carnatic vocal concert by Kalaimamani Dr. Nithyashree Mahadevan,
reinforcing Geri Care’s commitment to nurturing emotional wellbeing alongside
medical care.
With this launch, Geri Care strengthens its footprint across Chennai
and Bengaluru, with Coimbatore coming soon, continuing to build a 360-degree
continuum of eldercare spanning clinics, skilled nursing facilities, assisted
living residences and home-care services — all delivered by geriatric
specialists.
