Welcome to Thikana Shimla

Age is just a number.

 
Old age should not mean pain and misery. The elderly have the right to live happily and with dignity.

Believing in this motto, Thikana Shimla, a non-profit venture for senior citizens, has come up with “Thikana Shimla  Senior Citizen Housing", which is a unique holistic initiative to take care of elderly people. It is one-of-its-kind, residential senior citizen's luxury housing.

We sincerely believe that the aged/elderly persons are the pillars of our society and that they deserve great care and attention in the concluding phase of their lives.

With that in mind, we have created a unique idea of creating a housing complex by, of and for the Senior Citizens. The project is planned on a no-profit-no-loss basis; and in a way so that the aged people living here can enjoy optimum care, fulfilment, comfort, and convenience. The housing complex will have a wide range of amenities such as park, gym, physiotherapy tools, meditation room, dining room, restaurant, guest rooms, general shop (where one can get daily requirements including grocery and other items), medicine shop, mini-ICU, library, auditorium, dedicated river Ghat, and so on—all this and much more under the homely, safe umbrella of Thikana Shimla.

All residential flats will be identical, measuring a carpet area of approx. 375 sq. ft. It will be a studio apartment consisting of one bedroom, one drawing room, one kitchenette, one toilet, one small toilet containing only a WC (optional), and one balcony. You may also make the flat one big room by removing the partition. Everybody can view the River Ganges from the balcony. The building will be elderly person compatible. 

The site is selected at CHARSARATI, GANGAMANOHARPUR, PS: CHAKDAHA, DIST: NADIA at the bank of the River Ganges. The nearest landmark is Charsarati High School. The river strand will be at least 700 ft. long. The nearest hospital, JNM Hospital is 5 km away from this place and the newly constructed AIIMS Hospital is 12 km away from this place. The nearest station is 'Kalyani Ghosh Para', 4 km away.  The land selected for this project is at present approx. 30 bigha. We have planned to acquire more land. 

Any person above 50 years can enroll his/ her name.  Flats will be allotted on a membership basis, which will be handed over only after depositing the full membership amount. The membership will be ceased after the death of all residents and the nominee will get a suitable refund. Any time anybody can leave the project without showing any cause. His/ her money will be refunded as per norms. The next person will be called from the panel to take over the flat. No inheritance will be allowed.

In the case of the parents with a child with special needs, the child can stay up to his / her lifetime, even after the demise of his / her parents. The organization will take full responsibility after certain conditions. An additional amount along with the regular membership charges should be paid for the above-mentioned purpose. 

We have planned to build approx. 300 flats, in several phases. Any senior citizen can register his/ her name/s by paying non-refundable, non-adjustable Rs. 1000. The first, second, and third phase bookings are over. Soon we will launch the Fourth phase of booking. The payment will be taken in five equal installments. The approximate membership deposit will be 30 lakhs.

The residents can stay here like other residential complexes. They have to pay a monthly maintenance charge, which will be approx. Rs. 5000/ month as of now ( Approximate charge based on current market cost, however, actual maintenance cost will be finalized based on the actual market cost at the time of final agreement ) . 

We are committed to serving the elderly. Hence, at Thikana Shimla, we welcome sick people who need assistance. Even 100% bedridden, mentally unwell, dementia, paralytic, or COPD-affected elders are allowed to come and live. The mentally and physically disabled person of any age can stay here permanently. Short stay facility is also available.

We will take full responsibility with the treatment and care. Rest assured, we will leave no stone unturned to make sure that these senior citizens get the love and care they deserve and need.
