I still have a year before I turn 50 and can join AARP the American Association of Retired Persons.
My Dad was visiting me and he keeps talking about the need for Senior living facilities like Sunrise.
Does India present an opportunity for something like AARP and/or Sunrise. With all the real estate funds being set up maybe there are already efforts under way. For entrepreneurs who want to get into this maybe Tina Ambani could provide funding. While India has the largest young population it probably has one of the larger senior populations as well.

Any progress.

Hello,
I am an architect currently based in Boston who has worked on Senior Living projects like Sunrise and Leonard Florence which is perhaps the first urban ‘Green House’ model in the US for the past three years. And for the past decade I have involved in various research and design work related to accessibility.
After having lived in both these continents I feel that Senior Living in India should ideally tap on the inherent sense of community which exists in India and would work beautifully if it is integrated with mainstream housing.
I am looking at moving back to India and would love to hear from people who might be interested in such ventures. I came across this forum when I was googling ‘senior living in India.’

There is going to be a place like Sunrise coming up in Trichy and very soon a chain in South India – from interior villages, hill stations to religious places.
The laying of foundation stone for ‘PONNI DELTA’ – A Senior Living Community is scheduled for March 6, 2007.
Please visit http://www.ponnidelta.com for more information. The website will be online from March 6, 2007.
Thank you!

They have set up senior citizen apartment complex – though not a community the like Sunrise has.
