1. A Morning That Begins With Care and Compassion
At Aashritha Old Age Home in Vijayawada, every sunrise begins with warmth, calmness, and a promise — the promise to care for our elders with love and respect. For the 30 + senior citizens who call Aashritha their home, mornings are more than a routine; they are a source of renewal.
Each day starts at 6 a.m. with an Ayurvedic decoction — a soothing herbal drink designed to improve immunity and digestion. Followed by tea, coffee, or milk, it sets a gentle rhythm for the day ahead. By 7 a.m., the aroma of small millets malt fills the dining area, providing energy and nutrition specially curated for seniors.
This attention to health and emotional well-being is what makes Aashritha not just another old age home in Vijayawada, but a genuine home with heart.
2. Our Unique Daily Timetable Designed for Elders
At Aashritha, we follow a structured timetable created after medical and nutritional consultation. It keeps every resident active, nourished, and joyful throughout the day.
Time Activity Description
6:00 AM Ayurveda Decoction Herbal immunity-boosting drink
6:30 AM Tea / Coffee / Milk Gentle beverage to start the day

Every meal is freshly cooked in-house. Our cooks use minimal oil, seasonal vegetables, and millets to ensure balanced nutrition. Seniors are encouraged to join prayers or community songs after breakfast, creating a warm family environment.
This thoughtful menu and routine are why many families call Aashritha the best old age home in Vijayawada — not only for facilities but for the humane touch behind every act of care.
3. Nutrition With a Purpose: Health, Taste, and Tradition
Food is central to well-being, especially for elders. Our menu combines Ayurvedic principles with local Andhra cuisine.
Morning starts light to awaken digestion; afternoons are balanced with protein-rich dal and curd; evenings are gentle with fruit or snacks that prevent acidity.
By blending millets, vegetables, and traditional recipes, we help manage age-related issues like diabetes, hypertension, and fatigue — while keeping taste alive.
As one of our residents, Saraswati amma (68), says,
> “The food here tastes like home — simple, warm, and full of love. I never miss a meal.”
4. A Story That Inspires – How Routines Change Lives
When Ramakrishna Rao (74) joined Aashritha, he was frail, quiet, and had lost interest in food. Our caregivers noticed he preferred traditional rice dishes, so they slowly re-introduced them alongside nutrition-rich millets. Within weeks, his appetite improved. Today, he never misses his 6 a.m. herbal decoction and even helps the cook serve breakfast.
> “I feel like I have family again,” he says. “My mornings are peaceful, my heart is full.”
Such transformations are what your support makes possible.
5. Beyond Meals — Emotional and Social Nourishment
Healthy food keeps the body strong; companionship keeps the soul alive.
At Aashritha Old Age Home, mornings are followed by light physical activities, meditation, or music sessions. Evenings often include devotional singing or storytelling.
We’ve learned that emotional wellness is as important as medicine. Our trained caregivers focus equally on listening, interacting, and celebrating birthdays or festivals. Each act restores self-worth and reminds residents that they are loved and valued.
6. How Your Support Makes This Possible
