Tapas Eldercare

Tapas is a residential and daycare eldercare organization founded around five years ago by Mrs. Prajakta Wadhavkar. It was born from her unique vision to provide holistic care for seniors. Designed to be a “home away from home,” Tapas operates in Pune with two dedicated locations: one in Wakad and another in Balewadi. Tapas offers voluntary admission for seniors who are looking for supportive and community-based living. The organization is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and its emphasis on a holistic culture of compassionate and comprehensive care.

Amenities

Tapas provides a range of modern amenities tailored to support seniors’ physical, emotional, and psychological needs. Medical services are available 24×7, ensuring both routine healthcare and emergency support are within immediate reach. A specialist team comprising psychiatrists and psychologists offers counselling, emotional support, and grief therapy. Structured programs are a daily part of life at Tapas, including stimulating activities like arts, music, hobbies, and cognitive exercises for brain health. The community also places strong emphasis on social engagement, helping residents build friendships and emotional connections in a warm environment. The overall approach centres on holistic well-being nurturing the body, mind, and emotions. Personalized care plans are created based on individual health history, daily routines, dietary needs, and fitness levels. All medical and caregiving activities are thoroughly documented, with daily health records and monthly assessments systematically shared with both medical teams and families.

Accommodations

Tapas offers multiple care models designed to cater to various stages and conditions of aging:

Active Ageing
Rooted in the Vedic concept of Vanaprastha, this model supports seniors who wish to remain active and independent. It allows them to pursue personal interests while participating in structured daily engagement, emotional wellness practices, and lifestyle routines that accept and embrace the aging process.

Day Care
Tapas provides professional, daytime-only care for seniors who require supervision and engagement during the day but return to their families at night. This option ensures stimulation and safety without long-term residential commitment.

Dementia Care
For seniors dealing with dementia, Tapas offers a specialized centre with trained staff and individualized treatment plans. The team focuses on accurate diagnosis, emotional safety, and continuous cognitive care tailored to each patient’s condition.

Palliative Care
This model is designed for seniors suffering from serious and complex medical issues. It offers specialized, compassionate care focused on pain management, emotional comfort, and improving overall quality of life during advanced illness stages.
