How Support Elders is lending a helping hand to the geriatric population 0 claps Share on Retired Lt. Col. Samaresh Nath Bhaduri is 87 years old and a resident of Kolkata. He came across ‘Support Elders’, a service for the elderly, and was hooked when he got to know that some of the teams involved with Support elders have ex-servicemen. He says, “It’s great for elderly people like me. They (member care associates) come meet me every Thursday every week and enquire about my welfare and other things. I have the assurance that there is always somebody in the background, looking after me all the time. In case of distress, I’m sure that I will get help immediately (via alarm system in the wearable device).” He adds that the GPS system, another addition to the wearable device is not only so family members can know his location, it’s also great that the emergency team can reach him anywhere, anytime.
