Why NRIs in the USA are choosing Assisted living in Delhi NCR

As an NRI living in the United States, you juggle a busy life, work, family, and children, older parents in India.

You are also worrying about your elderly parents, thousands of miles away in Delhi/Gurgaon.

Many second-generation Indians in the US find themselves torn between their responsibilities abroad and the emotional tug of ensuring their parents in India age with grace, dignity, comfort, and proper care.

Now days professional, luxury assisted living and old age homes in Delhi, Gurgaon are there to take care of your parents, and it could be the best decision you make for your family. Ten  common problems NRIs in the USA face when arranging care for elderly parents in Delhi NCR:

1. Worry about parents living alone & isolated.
2. Lack of trustworthy caregivers at home.
3. Frequent health scares & hospital visits back home.
4. Guilt about not being able to visit often.
5. Concerns about household help being unreliable.
6. Worries about the safety & security of seniors at home.
7. Difficulty coordinating medical care from abroad.
8. Parents are resisting help despite growing frailty.
9. Finding a place that feels like home, not a hospital.
10. Lack of awareness about luxury assisted living options in India.
    

The Emotional Dilemma of Caring From Afar:

Many of our residents’ children at Gracias Living share a similar story, years of worry watching their parents age in isolation.

Calls became more frequent as minor falls, memory lapses, or health issues escalated. You feel guilty when you can’t fly to Delhi for every hospital visit, and helpless as household help keeps quitting.

It’s hard to explain this emotional burden to others. It’s also hard to broach the topic of “senior care” to your parents,  after all, they’ve spent their lives being independent.

The answer is an Assisted Living facility, which you can trust will take care of your parents as you always wanted to do.

Why Hiring Individual Caregivers at Home Isn’t Enough

Many NRIs hire nurses or maids to stay with their parents. But over time, they realise:

• Caregivers change often, disrupting continuity.
• Most aren’t trained in dementia, Parkinson’s, or chronic care.
• Parents feel awkward living with someone in the house full-time.
• There’s no social stimulation for parents.

Assisted living solves all of these problems holistically.

Assisted living communities are designed for seniors who want to live independently but need some help with daily tasks and medical needs.

At Gracias Living, for instance, our Delhi facility offers:

• Fully-furnished, elder-friendly suites.
• 24×7 nursing and emergency response.
• Regular doctor rounds.
• Gourmet, nutritious meals.
• Housekeeping & laundry.
• Fitness, yoga, and physiotherapy.
• Memory care for dementia patients.
• Daily social and cultural activities.

Your parents have the privacy of their apartment, but with care and community just a step away.

3. Easy to visit family when flying in from the US.
4. Cosmopolitan environment and familiar social fabric.

The demand for premium assisted living in Delhi NCR has risen sharply in the last 5 years ,  as NRIs realise that their parents deserve safe home.
