Antara Senior Care, a wholly owned subsidiary of Max India Limited and one of India’s leading senior-care providers, has launched its first Care Home in Chennai. Located on East Coast Road (ECR), the 43-bed, 30,000 sq. ft. facility caters to the growing demand for high-quality assisted living and rehabilitative services in the region.

This latest facility provides both long-term assisted living for seniors requiring support with daily tasks and structured recovery services for those recuperating from major health conditions. It also offers post-hospitalisation care for elderly patients without home-based support systems.

Chennai, known as a major hub for medical tourism, has a well-established healthcare network but limited infrastructure for post-treatment recovery and elderly care. Antara’s new centre addresses this gap, offering a comprehensive solution that combines medical support, professional caregiving, and holistic wellness.

Ishaan Khanna, CEO of Antara Assisted Care Services, highlighted the organisation’s goal to provide seniors with clinically governed care in coordination with their physicians. “Our Chennai Care Home offers a safe, dignified environment for seniors who require round-the-clock care, rehabilitative support, or help with everyday activities,” he said.

The three-floor, wheelchair-accessible facility includes 24/7 medical assistance, trained nurses, hospital beds, physiotherapy, diagnostic services, nutrition planning, and mental wellness programmes.

Chennai marks Antara’s sixth Care Home in India, after operational centres in Noida, Gurugram, and Bengaluru. The launch complements Antara’s broader assisted care ecosystem, which includes services such as memory care, transition care, and home-based care available across southern cities.

According to a JLL-ASLI 2024 report, India’s senior population is projected to reach nearly 350 million by 2050—20 per cent of the total population. Antara aims to expand its footprint nationwide to meet this rising demand for compassionate and professional senior care.
