Homes for those in need of assisted living

The FAMC and the community of Samasti have agreed that the house and garden of a recently deceased community member is transformed into a house for Aurovilians who require assisted living. Also, on Sri Aurobindo’s birthday, August 15th, the Auroville Health Services have started building the Mahalakshmi Home, a home for senior Aurovilians who are “mostly fit enough to organize their daily lives and need only special help for things such as dressing, laundry, and for seniors who wish to live together with other seniors in order to be in an environment of peers and mutual understanding and support.” The Foundation Stone for this building was laid on 3rd October 2015 in the presence of Dr. Karan Singh (Chairman of the Governing Board) and Sir Mark Tully (International Advisory Council).
