A day at Navratna

  1. 6:30 AM · dawn

    The day begins gently

    A warm bath, morning tea and biscuits — no rush, no clock ruling the day. Just a calm, cared-for start.

  2. 10:00 AM · mid-morning

    Minds that stay curious

    Newspapers, books and scriptures, then a stretch of personal time — because a full life doesn't pause with age.

    A shared table, a shared rest

    Hobbies and favourite pastimes give way to a nourishing lunch together, and a peaceful afternoon rest.

    Stories, lamps and laughter

    Evening tea, unhurried conversation, and the lighting of the lamps — the warm togetherness that makes this a home, not a facility.

The why behind Navratna

One woman's lifelong vow of service

I don't run a facility. I keep a family — and no one in it is ever alone.

— Mrs. Anita Rakade, Founder

Anita Rakade began serving her community at just 19. That vow never faded — in 2017 it became Navratna, a real home for elders who had nowhere warm to grow old. It has always been a family mission, built alongside her husband Bapu and son Rohan.

Today that same family cares for 42 residents as their own — proof that dignity in old age isn't a service you buy, but a promise someone chooses to keep.

The vision

A permanent home for 100 elders

Today we care for 42 elders in a rented home. The dream is a self-owned, forever home — so no elder we love is ever asked to move again. Here is exactly what your partnership builds.

We didn't just find a facility; we found a true home for my mother, where she is celebrated for who she is.

I was worried about losing my independence — here it's the opposite. I have more time for the things I love.

Living at Navratna

The medical care is excellent, but it's the small things — the warm tea, the morning walks — that make it home.
