Who We Are
Dignity Foundation has been working for senior citizens since 1995, offering them an enriching set of opportunities. We deal with the elderly’s psycho-social challenges and help them tackle their loneliness and insecurities, thereby bringing joy back into their lives.
Productive Ageing means making contributions to one’s own life, their communities and to the society. As is evident in its definition, one cannot achieve productive ageing in isolation. Each individual thrives and prospers in its environment, which we refer to as an ecosystem.
To help our members achieve productive ageing, Dignity Foundation offers an ecosystem of services which operate symbiotically to ensure that members grow and prosper and become their best productive selves.

Raising Funds For
At our Dementia Day Care Centres, members benefit from home pick-up and drop facilities, daily nutritious lunch and refreshments along with memory boosting games, physical and social activities, music therapy, physio and occupational therapy, among other activities. All our centres are staffed with trained caregivers who pay personal attention to each and every member.
According to Dr. Sheilu Sreenivasan, "People living with Dementia may not be able to be cured medically but they surely can be healed emotionally with unconditional love and care".
Dignity Foundation wants to expand this high quality service to many more places in India. Through TMM 2023, we wish to raise adequate funds to cover our set-up cost of new Dementia Day Care Centres in India.
