It can all take place in a moment.
One minute you are surrounded by love, comfort, and the quiet rhythm of life, safe in the warmth of your family. And then, in the twinkling of an eye, life is forever shaken.
Naresh ji’s story took such a turn during a visit to his daughter in Sweden. What was meant to be a happy time with family turned into a time of fear and uncertainty, as he suffered a sudden stroke. This shook the very ground beneath his loved ones’ feet.
It wasn’t a tough situation — it was heart-wrenching. For Naresh ji, whose life had turned upside down overnight. For his daughters, far away, helpless and worried every second minute. And for his wife, Sushma, who stood by him with a brave heart, she knew in her heart that he required more attention than she alone could provide.
The family had one desire! They wished for their parents to be brought back home to India. To the country where they felt they belonged, were safe, and immersed in familiar warmth.
Coming home, however, was not enough. They wanted them to go to a place where love was the spoken language and where parents are treated like family.
That’s when they found VataVriksh Parent Care.
The Search for a Safe Place
Naresh ji’s daughters had no illusions that their parents would self-manage alone in India. But they also recognised their father would need more than medicine — he needed warmth, companionship, and dignity.
Hospitals might give treatment, but they would be cold and impersonal. Home care was a possibility, but in their absence, it would be unsafe. They hunted for a place that would provide their parents with love and safety.
When they found VataVriksh Parent Care, it was like a godsend gift. An institution where parents are not only looked after, but also valued and loved.
A New Beginning
Getting to VataVriksh Parent Care was an emotional experience for Naresh ji and his wife. They were going into unknown territory. Would they feel odd? Would they be lonely?
But as soon as they walked in, their anxiety dissipated. The caregivers received them with a warm smile — not as patients but as relatives.
The carers did not simply ask him about his medical requirements, they also talked about his favourite foods, about his routine, about his likes and dislikes. They wanted to get to know him as a person.
On the first night, Naresh ji slept soundly for the first time in months.
Everyday Care, Just Like Home
At VataVriksh Parent Care, every little detail is taken care of with care. Naresh ji and his wife soon fell into a routine which was both reassuring and familiar.
- Mornings begin with a hot cup of tea. Caregivers bring it exactly the way he prefers.
- Healthy, homemade meals are freshly cooked daily, considering their health requirements.
- Daily physiotherapy sessions are undertaken, which help them build strength and increase mobility.
- Doctor’s consultations are never skipped. The caregivers book an appointment, take him along, and see that he receives the best possible treatment.
It’s not about medical treatment but it’s about the small things that turn a house into a home.
Kind Hands, Warm Hearts
In hospitals, doctors and nurses pass through. They attend to patients, but there is no personal connection. At VataVriksh Parent Care, each caregiver is like a member of the extended family.
Naresh ji and his wife frequently say, “They don’t just assist us, they care for us.”
From holding a hand through a trying time to sitting and talking about life, the caregivers ensure no resident ever feels isolated. Their compassion is not job-related, it is from the heart.
Friendships That Heal the Soul
One of the greatest pleasures for Naresh ji at VataVriksh Parent Care has been discovering companionship.
Growing old can be a solitary experience. But here, he is not alone. There are others here who have the same stories. They sit around at night and they talk about their families, about their youths, about their dreams.
They have small celebrations — festivals, birthdays, even a good hearty day is cherished.
“I thought I was coming to a care facility,” Naresh ji says. “But I found a home filled with friends.”
A Place to Heal, A Place to Stay
At VataVriksh Parent Care, people remain for as long as they require. There is no hurry, no compulsion. Recovery is a slow process, and everyone is allowed to have that time with compassion and understanding.
Naresh ji is on the mend. He does not require constant care anymore. He is gaining strength, both physically and mentally. But he and his wife decided to remain longer — not because they have to, but because they are content.
Their daughters, once anxious every day, now sleep soundly aware their parents are in good care.
A Daughter’s Appreciation
Naresh ji’s daughters might be miles away, but their love isn’t far behind. They are thankful to the core.
They desired that their parents come back to India. But they never wished them to be left behind.
VataVriksh Parent Care has provided them with peace of mind. They have the assurance that even if they cannot be present every day, their parents are enveloped with love, respect, and dignity.
A Story of Love and Hope
Naresh ji’s tale is not unique to him alone. It is the tale of many families. It is a tale of children who wish the best for their aging parents, of parents who wish to live with dignity, of love that remains strong, even across distance.
Every tale at VataVriksh Parent Care is a tale of hope.
For those seeking a place where their loved ones will be cared for with warmth, where respect and kindness are the very foundation, and where healing occurs with love, Naresh ji’s story is a message.
A message that home is not a place — it is where the heart is nurtured.
